Hurricane Irma is just off the coast of Florida as a category 5 with possible impacts to Warren County by early next week as a wind and rain event. Warren County Governmental Departments continue to monitor Hurricane Irma and its path and all sheltering staff have been placed on stand-by. If conditions warrant, a shelter will be opened as needed.
Warren County officials urge residents to responsibly plan to survive the storm by keeping a minimum three-day supply of non-perishable food and bottled water per person. More information for preparing emergency kits can be found at www.ReadyNC.org.
Warren County officials also encourage residents to check local media outlets, social media and www.ReadyNC.org for updates as weather conditions worsen.
