Hoke County will open a shelter at West Hoke Middle School beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, September 12 for people seeking refuge from Hurricane Florence. The shelter will be pet friendly according to emergency management director Bryan Marley. Exact details on what to bring and what not to bring with you to the shelter will be made available by the county tomorrow (Tuesday) through a website that county staff is preparing that will also include other vital information. We'll link you to that as soon as it's available!
The county commissioners tonight approved a budget amendment for emergency funding in advance of the storm, and approved a request from County Manager Letitia Edens to close county offices on Thursday due to the impending inclement weather.
The county's emergency operations center (EOC) is preparing for the hurricane as well. A phone line with automated information will be available at (910) 848-4645, and a staffed phone line will be available at (910) 848-4646.
County departments are meeting again tomorrow morning.
