Young County hurricane guide

Young County's emergency management coordinator is the Chief Deputy of the Sheriff's Office in Graham. The county is inland, but the remains of tropical storms can bring heavy rain, flash flooding, and wind. The county page lists no alert signup, so call the coordinator's office for current information, and never drive through flooded roads.

Evacuation centers

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Young County does not publish a standing list of shelters. If shelters open, follow announcements from the county and your city. Do not go to a shelter until it is announced as open.

Cities and towns

Each city has its own services and some have their own alerts. The county's evacuation zones, evacuation centers, and emergency alerts cover everyone, in every city and in unincorporated areas.
