Storm Information on Our Website

The Town of Duck is posting all Duck-specific information related to Hurricane Sandy on our website at www.townofduck.com.  Information will include any items that our residents, property owners, visitors, businesses, and stakeholders should know as the storm approaches, as well as pertinent items during the event and afterwords.   Please check the page regularly for updates.  (During this time, when you go to www.townofduck.com, it will redirect you to our storm page which is http://www.townofduck.com/storm-information/.)

Storm Preparation

In preparation for the storm, you and/or your property management company should make every attempt to secure your property.  All outdoor furnishings, trash cans, and any loose items should be properly secured.  If you are staying for the storm, review the contents of your emergency supplies kit to ensure you have adequate supplies in the event that you are without power, water, or transportation for more than 72 hours.

Trash Information

Both regular and recycling trash pick up are still scheduled for Monday, October 29, 2012.  It will be picked up a little later in the morning due to weather conditions.  Please be advised, that because of the storm it is recommended that trash containers be rolled out to the curb Monday morning instead of Sunday evening.  This will lessen the chance of containers becoming wind hazards, as well as reduce any flying trash debris due to the projected strong winds.   This is subject to change as conditions change.
