PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Yancey County Emergency Shelter Opening

Beginning at 2:00 p.m. today, Saturday, October 10, Yancey County will open an emergency shelter at the Yancey County Senior Center for residents who wish to relocate as a precaution due to the potential for landslides associated with the incoming weather.

We strongly encourage residents living in landslide-prone areas, particularly near Mount Mitchell and along the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor in Yancey County, to consider relocating to a safer location before weather conditions worsen.

Residents are encouraged to remain alert, monitor weather updates, and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families.

Your safety is our priority. Please do not wait until conditions become dangerous to relocate.
