WATER
- Buncombe County water distribution began at 2pm today at North Windy Ridge Intermediate School.
- Some Town water service will be restored this week.
- The Town's emergency contingency plan has been set in action. We've received generators for the water treatment plant, and we are working to receive emergency water from Mars Hill. If/when water returns, conservation of water and water boiling will be critically important.
- Lakes, rivers, and creeks should be considered contaminated. We discourage any consumption of those water sources.
TRAVEL
- If possible, self-evacuation is encouraged.
- I-26 East and West are open.
- I-40 in both directions is still closed.
INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
- Phone vendors have turned on "disaster roaming", this means that any phone can connect to any cell tower, making reception easier. Be sure to turn on "data roaming" in your device, and it will improve signal.
- The B.E.A.R. Closet at Methodist Fellowship Hall on Main Street is open and has baby supplies. Hours will be posted on their door.

All Town person-power efforts are being put towards life saving measures. Trash and brush pickup will resume after these more pressing needs are addressed.
Public Works has worked to ensure that every road in Town can be traveled by car, and is now working to widen the paths in order to ensure emergency vehicles can also travel the roads.
Information will be posted to Town buildings every day around 4pm as we learn more.
