The Emergency Services Department operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week.  After hours, weekends and holidays, our main phone line is transferred to the emergency communications center and the on-call person will be contacted-252-559-6118.  We strongly urge our citizens to keep essential supplies at home for any type of disaster that can and has affected our county.  Should a shelter be opened during times of disasters/emergencies, Lenoir Community College, located on Hwys. 70 & 58 South, is the primary shelter.  The special-needs shelter will also be registered at Lenoir Community College.  Should you have questions concerning any of the above, please contact us at 252-526-6666.
