Debris removal personnel are working this week to clear debris from the right of way on NC Hwy 88 W, NC 163, and NC 194. All debris must be placed on the state-maintained right of way by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 4.
The Ashe County Building and Inspections Department is in the field assessing identified damaged structures. One of three Placards will be placed on the assessed structure – INSPECTED, RESTRICTED USE, or UNSAFE. Should you see a green “Inspected” placard, the structure allows lawful occupancy. Should you see a yellow “Restricted Use” placard, there are damages causing concern and the inspector will indicate any restricted use of the structure. Should you see a red “Unsafe” placard, occupancy and/or use is prohibited as annotated in the notes left by the inspector as the structure is deemed to be unsafe and entry may be assumed at own risk.
Please remember that damaged structures should be permitted as usual. Fees are currently being waived for damaged structures. Please do not remove, alter, or cover the placard until authorized by Governing Authority. If you have questions, please call 336-846-5511.
Needs Hotline: 336-846-5877. This is for anyone with a need for volunteer services. If you need help fixing damages, please contact this number and they can team you up with volunteers.
Volunteer Hotline: 336-740-9282. This is a line to collect volunteer information. The line will not direct them where to go. It will only collect volunteer information. Someone will reach back out to them with information on how they can help.
