Our Health and Human Services team has some tips and tools for #Dorian cleanup, including free well test kits and larvacide tablets. Visit http://ow.ly/fuGU50w3rkE

Don't forget you need a permit to burn hurricane debris in the unincorporated areas of the county. Visit NCForestService.gov and click Burning Permits to get a free permit to burn. Practice safety when burning. For tips visit http://ow.ly/Bqxs50w33Jo

Due to the small amount of debris as a result of Hurricane Dorian, county-wide debris collection will not take place. Residents can bring debris to the landfill as they typically do with regular yard and home maintenance. There is no burn ban in place, so residents in the unincorporated area can also safely burn debris if needed. Need help cleaning up? Visit http://ow.ly/6ymE50w2MSQ
