Char-Meck Emergency Management

We understand that the Stay-at-Home order has many implications for our community. We’re working hard to address your questions, and our helpline (704-353-1926) is open from 8am-8pm, M-F. In the meantime, we ask that you help us by being a part of the solution.

The order will be challenging to comply with, but we ask that you look for ways to follow the order rather than be exempt. The more compliance we have with the order, the faster we can return to normal. These are important measures that we all need to take seriously.

Duke Energy and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management will be conducting a test of the outdoor warning sirens around McGuire Nuclear Station and Catawba Nuclear Station at 11:50 am on Wednesday, October 9th. Sirens will sound for 3 minutes. This is only a Test.
