Government Office Delayed Opening

Hanover County Government and Courts open tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.

Hanover County government facilities, including all courts, will open tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. in response to Isaias, which could bring heavy rain and tropical storm-force winds to our region that could be damaging.

Isaias information

Isaias is expected to arrive in Hanover early tomorrow morning. The most current weather map from the National Weather Service in Wakefield projects 3-6 inches of rain in our area. The heaviest wind gusts (20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph) are expected along and east of I-95. As with all such events, you should be prepared for rising waters, flash flooding and flooded roadways as well as power outages. There is also an increased threat of tornadoes late this evening and overnight ahead of Isaias.
Water covered roads may be impassable, so please be aware. TURN AROUND DON’T DROWN.
Hanover County Government, Sheriff’s Office, Fire/EMS and Public Schools all have Facebook and Twitter pages that will provide updates on any impact Isaias has upon the County. Facebook pages: Hanover County Government; Sheriff’s Office; Fire/EMS; Public Schools. Twitter pages: Hanover County government; Sheriff’s Office; Fire/EMS; Public Schools.
Hanover Alerts is a public safety notification system that operates in conjunction with Code Red. You can access it directly from the County’s home page.
