Community disaster shelter information

Written by Alamance County Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, County News, Emergency Management, General News, Health, Public Safety, Storm Information.

Alamance County is prepared to activate a community disaster shelter if the need arises.

A community disaster shelter is not a warming shelter. Warming shelters are typically run by faith-based facilities and other community organizations, dial 211 for health and human service needs.

The call to activate a community disaster shelter is based on real-time conditions. These can be widespread power outages, water outages, and other factors. If these develop, Alamance County will coordinate with all other municipalities to share the information on activation of the community disaster shelter and its location. Fairchild Community Center in Burlington has been used in the past.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alamance County Establishes a Consolidated Human Services Agency

The Alamance County Board of Commissioners voted Monday night to establish a new consolidated human services agency, positioning the county’s health department, veterans’ services department, and Family Justice Center under a single organizational structure.

As part of this change, the Alamance Board of Commissioners also created a new human services board and dissolved the former board of health. A nominating committee, as required by law, submitted a list of recommended appointees for the new board. Commissioners approved all recommendations and officially appointed members during the meeting.

The new human services board will assume many of the authorities outlined below, along with most responsibilities previously held by the board of health. The board will set service fees based on recommendations from the agency director, ensure compliance with state and federal laws, review and audit programs, and recommend new services to meet community needs. It will also advise county officials, promote public engagement and advocacy, assist in developing the agency’s annual budget, and help create fair and transparent dispute-resolution processes for clients and contractors.

County Manager Heidi York said the new agency represents a major step forward in how services are delivered across Alamance County. “The Consolidated Human Services Agency will align the Alamance County Health Department, the Family Justice Center, and Veterans Services,” York explained. “This alignment will allow for more holistic customer services and support while creating new opportunities for improving services.”

The new human services board held its first meeting Tuesday night. Although the agenda focused mainly on procedural items, the board also met in closed session to provide advice and consent to the county manager for selecting the agency’s first director. After returning to open session, County Manager York announced that Tony Lo Giudice will serve as the new Human Services Agency Director, while continuing to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the local health director.

Board Chair Richard Blanchard said the members are eager to get started. “This new board is excited to carry out its duties to improve the human condition in Alamance County,” he said.

Blanchard added that each department will continue its important work. “We want our veterans services department to continue is mission providing first-class support to our veterans,” he said. “We want our Family Justice Center to remain a well-coordinated safe and supportive place for victims of violence. And we want our health department to keep promoting health and preventing the spread of disease.”

He concluded, “The new variable is together. As a harmonized agency, we will keep advancing the customer experience and strengthening the overall well-being of Alamance County.”

Alamance County Continues Tropical Storm Chantal Recovery 

Written by Alamance County Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Commissioner Statements, Community, County News, Emergency Management, Environmental Health, Fire Marshal, General News, Health, Public Safety.

Release date: July 18, 2025 
Contact: Tony Lo Giudice 
Phone: 336-281-0895 

Alamance County Emergency Management continues to help residents recover from the effects of Tropical Storm Chantal. On Monday, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein declared a State of Emergency for Alamance County and other surrounding counties. This declaration is expected to bring additional support and potential funding to assist those impacted by the storm. 

Board of Commissioners Chairman John Paisley shared his sympathy for those impacted. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost loved ones in the storm. For those with damaged property, the governor’s declaration is an important step toward getting additional assistance to Alamance County.” 

Tropical Storm Chantal hit the area on July 6 and dropped 9 to 12 inches of rain. Emergency crews in the county responded quickly and help also came from outside agencies. “We are truly grateful to all the first responders who worked through the night and into the morning to rescue people and keep our community safe,” said Paisley. 

About 90 damage assessments have been completed so far on homes and businesses. Most of the damage has been caused by flooding and fallen trees. 

To help residents, the county has opened a call center. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. People can call 336-790-0440 with questions about storm damage, flooding, wells, or septic systems. Outside of those hours, residents can visit www.alamancecountync.gov to submit questions online. 

Volunteers have also been helping across the county. So far, they have assisted at least 20 residents. County officials want to remind everyone to be cautious and avoid scams. If a volunteer group you do not recognize offers to help, call the call center to make sure they are approved by Emergency Management.
