CLEANUP HOTLINE

Connecting community needs with volunteer organizations.

If you need clean up help at your home (muck and gut) call 1-844-965-1386 and register your property for help.

Crisis Cleanup is specifically for individuals needing help with muck-out, tree cleanup, tarping, and debris. It is not an all encompassing case management system.

The way crisis cleanup works is individuals call the hotline, volunteers answer the hotline and populate a crisis cleanup map with the information on the needs. Once the map is populated voluntary organizations can go into the map select the home and state that they are serving that house. It allows for direct coordination amongst the voluntary organizations.

Smyth County Public Safety is sharing this information on behalf of VDEM.

Sugar Grove Community Update: Excessive Rainfall and Flooding Alert 🚨

*Important Safety Information*

Over the next few days, our area is expecting several inches of rain, leading to excessive rainfall and flooding. Please exercise caution.

*Never Drive Across a Flooded Road!*

Flooding in Virginia poses significant risks, especially when driving.

Key statistics and facts:

- Most flood-related deaths occur when individuals attempt to drive through flooded roads.
- SUVs are just as susceptible to being swept away as regular vehicles.

*Flood Safety Guidelines*

1. If you can't see the road or its markings, don't drive through the water.
2. Moving water exerts significant pressure on vehicles.
3. Water depth can be deceiving; even shallow water can hide deep pockets.

*Flooding Risks in Virginia*

- Flat terrain complicates water drainage.
- Pooling water poses significant risks due to:
- Difficulty judging water depth.
- Hidden deep pockets.

*Stay Safe*

Monitor weather updates, avoid flooded areas, and prioritize caution.

Stay informed, stay safe!
