The Town of Cary is encouraging citizens to secure carts and other light-weight items in preparations for the storm.

"While nearly every type of significant weather event includes some degree of uncertainty, the Town of Cary is prepared for Hanna," said Town of Cary Deputy Fire Chief Jay Poole, who helps oversee the Town's emergency management efforts. "We encourage our citizens to complete any last minute tasks so that they will also be prepared, especially with several storms potentially following Hanna in the coming days."

Residents should bring in solid waste carts, recycling bins, and other light-weight items early this evening to avoid them from becoming projectiles.

As is always the case in severe weather events, the Town is reminding citizens to call (919) 469-4090 for storm-related, non-emergency issues. Please do not call 911 unless there is an emergency posing an immediate threat to life, health, or property.
