Today, June 1st, officially marks the start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season!

Even inland here in Stanly County, we can experience severe weather, heavy rain, and power outages from coastal storms. The best time to prepare is before a storm hits.

Take some time this week to sit down with your family to make an emergency plan, create a communication plan, and build a 3-day emergency kit equipped with the essentials.

Visit ReadyNC.gov for more info to help your household get ready.

**STATEWIDE AND LOCAL BURN BANS REMAIN**

Both the Statewide Burn Ban (issued by the N.C. Forest Service) AND the Local Stanly County Burn Ban (issued by the Stanly County and City of Albemarle Fire Marshal’s Offices) REMAIN STRICTLY IN EFFECT today.

Due to critically high fire danger, absolutely NO open burning is permitted anywhere in Stanly County. Because both state and local bans are active, there are zero exceptions. This total prohibition includes campfires, bonfires, and agricultural burning.

Ignoring these overlapping mandates puts our community at extreme risk and depletes emergency resources. Violations will not be tolerated and will be strictly enforced, resulting in a fine of up to $250 for first offenses.

To report illegal burning, call 704-986-3700 or 911.
