Yancey County Helene Update: Restoration and Reopening

Yancey County -- November 9, 2024: Yancey County Update: While utility restoration is still ongoing, the majority of

services have been restored.

Thanks to these efforts, we are now able to transition to a more normal schedule. Your resilience and cooperation have been invaluable during this challenging time. As part of our recovery efforts, please note that the comfort stations in town will be closing as power has been restored to these areas. However, comfort stations will remain available for those in outlying areas still without power until power is fully restored.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come together, demonstrating unparalleled dedication and strength. 
Together, we have faced these challenges head-on and will continue to support each other as we rebuild and recover. Thank you for your unwavering spirit and commitment to our community.
If you need help or assistance with resources, please visit our Yancey County webpage for information.
