***4/18/26 12:30 PM UPDATE****
River Road from County Road J to Abbey Street is now open to Residents and Contractors Only. Law enforcement will ask for proof of residency or contractor status before permitting entry. Other areas remain closed while crews work to restore utilities and make the area safe for re-entry. Crews have made great progress and are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service.

We continue to ask volunteers to not report to the Ringle area at this time. We will continue to provide updates as progress continues and needs change.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

************

The outpouring of support and offers of assistance since yesterday’s storm have truly been heartwarming. At the request of Ringle Fire Chief Chris Kielman and to assist us to serving the needs of Ringle residents in a safe and effective manner, volunteers are asked to not report to the Ringle area at this time. Marathon County Emergency Management is assessing the damage this morning and clean-up efforts cannot resume until the assessment has been completed.

Once the assessment has been completed, we will provide you with information on the types of assistance needed and where volunteers should report.
