The City of Salisbury will operate on the following schedule for the Veterans Day holiday, Monday, Nov. 12:  

National Fire Prevention Week was October 7-13 with the theme “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware – fire can happen anywhere.” The Salisbury Fire Department felt that the theme was great but they wanted a message targeted specifically to Salisbury residents. Salisbury Fire Department and Life Safety Educator Kimberly Boling contacted Battalion Chief Forrest to survey all SFD members on a key message.

It’s not too late to sign up to receive Nixle alerts from the City of Salisbury! The alerts are a community-wide notification system to inform residents about emergency situations and community advisories right at their fingertips. 

Salisbury residents of all ages are invited to an Open House celebration at Fire Station #1, 514 E. Innes Street, Saturday, Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Due to increased evacuations across the county, The Red Cross will open a shelter at J.F. Hurley YMCA located at828 W Jake Alexander Blvd Salisbury for residents of Rowan County who are in imminent threat of danger or have been directed by Public Officials. This Shelter will open at 9:30 PM on this date September 16th 2018.

Please bring blankets, pillows, medications, and any other special needs equipment.

Check for recent updates on Hurricane Florence, shelters, street closures and flooding specific to the Salisbury area.
