RE: State of Emergency Declaration September 26, 2024
Today, as a Category 2 hurricane, Helene has encroached on the Town Limits of Wilkesboro, I believe it is in the best interest of Wilkesboro citizens that we participate with the County in
declaring a "State of Emergency" until the danger from this storm event has subsided.
As Mayor, it is my responsibility to protect the citizens of Wilkesboro, and as such, pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 166A-19.22(6)(2), I formally request that the Town of Wilkesboro be included in the Wilkes County State of Emergency declaration.
Furthermore, I request that the County of Wilkes take all measures to work directly with the Town of Wilkesboro to protect the safety and welfare of our citizens.
Respectfully,
Dale Isom, Mayor
Town of Wilkesboro
