NOTICE FROM RUTERFORD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
September 27, 2024
To all citizens of Rutherford County:
It is no longer safe to leave your home, please do not attempt to travel the roadways if it is not an emergency. Multiple roads are blocked by trees and powerlines are down throughout the county. Too many to list. A large majority of the county is impassable. Trees and powerlines are falling faster than we can clear them. A day at work is not worth your life.
Fire departments have had to suspend road clearing operations due to numerous trees falling around them while working. These operations will not resume until wind conditions improve and they can be conducted safely. Emergency services will only respond to immediate life threats until further notice and services may be severely delayed.
Stay home!
