Adopted this the _____________ day of ________ 2021. Edward Henderson, Mayor ATTEST: Barbara McColl, Town Clerk Legislators Require New Steps on Local States of Emergency Orders Legislators approved changes to the laws governing local states of emergency last week, setting new requirements for local officials to follow before their emergency orders may become effective. Now signed into law by Gov. Roy Cooper, the new procedures will require a local government to post its emergency order on its website and submit a signed copy of the order to the N.C. Department of Public Safety’s WebEOC portal. Failure to follow these steps, which must be taken along with existing requirements for publication of the order, would mean that the emergency order would not be effective. The procedures came in HB 593 JCPC/Detention/CAA and Other Fees at the request of the N.C. Retail Merchants Association, which expressed past frustration with not having a centralized database of local orders that affected its members’ retail business operations. NC 2-1-1 is now a resource for people to call for assistance related to the COVID-19 coronavirus. NC 2-1-1 [click.icptrack.com] is an information and referral service that families and individuals can call to obtain free and confidential information on health and human services resources within their community. NC 2-1-1 operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and resources are available in most languages. “Services like NC 2-1-1 are critical during times of emergency,” said Governor Cooper. “North Carolinians can now call 2-1-1 to get the information they need while we continue working together to prevent the spread of this virus.” North Carolinians can text COVIDNC to 898211 to receive general information and updates about COVID-19.

Simply dial 2-1-1 or TTY 888-892-1162 for assistance. NC 2-1-1 cannot provide direct medical services, and COVID-19 can only be diagnosed by a health care professional.
