Important Update for Bat Cave Area:

Access to the Bat Cave area is now restricted to essential personnel and current residents only. Please note that the footbridge will be removed this morning to allow the Department of Transportation to begin necessary road repairs. As a result, there will be no access to Bat Cave from Hwy. 64E during this time.

Debris Burn Notice:

We understand residents want to clear their properties of debris quickly. However, burning debris is not the safest method under the current conditions. We want to reduce the risk of accidental fires while our emergency responders continue to work.
Henderson County will provide free curbside storm debris pickup for all county residents on NCDOT, municipal and private roads. All storm debris that is pushed to the right of way of a property will be picked up for free.

We strongly encourage residents to use this free curbside service provided by the county to reduce the risk of accidental fires.For the latest information, visit www.hendersoncountync.gov/helene.
