Crews have marked several homes unsafe for habitation and will continue their work through the day.

Residents are asked to report damage to their home through an Onslow County damage-assessment survey. The report does not file a claim to help but provides an estimate of the damage so that it can be reported to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That number helps generate support for FEMA operations and funding to the community.

Sanitation Collection
Sanitation will pick up the Tuesday garbage and recycling route. The Thursday and Friday routes will stay the same.
Yard debris should be piled on the curb, not on the street. Pick up of that will begin this Saturday and because of the volume expected, will take some time to pick up all around the city.
Construction Debris, siding, shingles, furniture ruined by flooding, wet carpeting and similar items should be piled at the street also but in a separate pile.
Please keep your regular garbage and recycling in their regular rollout containers. If you lost your container, please just bag it and put it at the curb separate from the other areas.
