Voluntary Evacuation for Lumber River area residents

VOLUNTARY EVACUATION NOTICE
Officials are asking people who live along the Lumber River to voluntarily evacuate due to anticipated flooding. North Carolina Emergency Management has advised that the Lumber River will likely overflow its banks. Due to Hurricane Florence, river inlets are unable to flow freely and will begin to surge. Residents in the area of the Lumber River are encouraged to VOLUNTARILY EVACUATE. Levels are expected to exceed those seen with Hurricane Matthew.
See the press release below for more information, and www.readyhoke.org for details on shelters
