Wake County has opened emergency shelters at the following locations:
- Southeast Raleigh High School, 2600 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh
- Heritage High School, 1150 Forestville Road, Wake Forest
Road conditions remain extremely dangerous. Please continue to stay off the roads if at all possible (even during lulls in precipitation) and stay indoors to avoid the risk of serious injury. If you must go outdoors, please try to remain on grassy areas instead of hard surfaces.
To be prepared for the impacts of this storm (including possible power outages), we encourage residents to make emergency plans and take the following safety precautions:
- Keep your devices fully charged ahead of possible power outages.
- Assemble an emergency kit that includes enough food, water, medical supplies and other needed items for each family member for three days.
- Sign up for Wake County emergency alerts at ReadyWake.com and follow the U.S. National Weather Service Raleigh for the latest weather updates.
- Residents who are concerned about power outages impacting oxygen tanks or durable medical equipment should contact their equipment supplier.
- Never use a generator or camping stove indoors. Do not run a motor vehicle in a closed garage to recharge devices. Keep generators outside and away from homes and garages.
- For Duke Energy customers, report an outage via the Duke Energy app, website or by texting OUT to 57801.
