April 12, 2024 Public Meeting to Discuss Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation PlanCurrituck and Dare Counties and incorporated communities are updating the Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan update is required for all communities to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. This effort will also help the counties and incorporated communities to identify hazard risks, understand vulnerability, and develop ways to proactively mitigate risk. To kick off the planning process, two public meetings will be held to provide information on the plan update process, review the identified hazards, and gather feedback from the public. Additional public meetings will be scheduled later in the planning process. The public kickoff meetings will be held on April 22nd and 23rd as follows: - Dare County: Monday, 4/22 at 5:00 p.m. at the Emergency Operations Center, 370 Airport Road, Manteo, 27954
- Currituck County: Tuesday, 4/23 at 5:30 p.m. at the Public Safety Center, Emergency Operations Center, 125 College Way, Barco, 27917

Prepare. Protect. Insure. Whether you live in the Outer Banks year-round or own a second home here, protecting your property is essential. Even homes in areas that generally do not flood can be damaged due to flash flooding from rain, high groundwater levels and the naturally low island topography of the Outer Banks. It is important to know the hazards that may exist for your property and what steps you can take to prepare your property and your family to reduce the risks of flood damages. Visit DareNC.gov/Flood or kdhnc.com/1070/Flood-Information for more information regarding planning for flood hazards and flood zones in Dare County.

2024 Trash Attack! Thank you to all of our community members who volunteered their time and effort at our 2024 Trash Attack! event. The power of collective action truly made a difference - together, we collected 22 cubic yards of trash! (That would be the same as filling over 1,350 average-sized kitchen trash bags.) This is now the largest amount of trash ever to be collected from this event! Let's continue to work together to keep our community litter-free. Remember, every small effort counts towards a cleaner and brighter Kill Devil Hills. Special thanks to Front Porch Café (KDH), Kelly’s, Harris Teeter (KDH), and Food Lion (NH) for donations of food and drinks for the Trash Attack! volunteers. |
