Hi, neighbors & friends. As we head into this weather and weekend, we want to ensure folks are safe. Folks should be prepared for power outages, potential water outages and/or boil water advisory, etc. If you have not already, consider the following:

* Ensure downspouts from gutters are free flowing and directing water AWAY from your home.
* Fill up bathtubs so that you'll have water to flush toilets in the event of water outage.
* Fill up jugs/jars/containers with potable/drinking water (at least a gallon per person per day that water is out).
* Check in with neighbors to see if they're okay/need anything (especially elders).
* Have foods you can eat without cooking should the power go out.
* If using generators or other equipment, please keep them outdoors to prevent carbon monoxide buildup/poisoning.

If any trees fall in or near the neighborhood, reach out to this page and someone will come help.

Y'all stay safe & dry!

The City of Asheville will experience heavy rainfall and strong winds beginning tomorrow as a result of Tropical Storm Helene. Staff from across the City are already hard at work preparing Asheville to weather the rain and wind forecasted to come our way.
