GREENVILLE, N.C. - Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas has issued a 9:00 PM curfew for the City of Greenville on Sunday, October 9 as the city prepares for significant flooding. This curfew applies to all areas within the corporate limits of the city, and it remains in effect until 6:00 AM on Monday, October 10.
The following classes of people are exempt from the curfew restrictions: any police or public safety officer or other government official engaged in official business; any member, volunteer or employee of an organization providing disaster relief services; any person in transit from a place where they were temporarily engaged and could not have planned their departure to avoid the curfew; any medical service provider engaged in delivering medical services; and members of the news media engaged in duties essential to providing public information.
To report an emergency situation, call 911.
Flooding is not the only concern associated with the heavy rainfall the city has received. The grounds are already saturated, and the dirt around trees may be loosened. Winds could cause trees or power lines to fall. If you encounter a downed power line, do not touch it and call the Greenville Utilities Commission emergency hotline immediately at 1-855-767-2482. Always assume that a power line is live and dangerous.
