Winter Weather – Being Prepared and Staying Safe

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in County News, Emergency Management, Fire Marshal, General News, Public Safety.

With winter weather on its way, it’s important to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe and secure. Our Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Office has a lot of good information on how to be prepared for Winter Weather, how to stay safe when the storm happens, and what to do in case of an emergency.

Also, if you haven’t signed up for ACE Alerts yet, now is a good time. You’ll be kept up to date on emergency information via text or email. You can also keep up to date by liking and following our Emergency Management Facebook page.

Veterans Office Notice Update

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in County News, General News, Veterans.

Due to a recent retirement and personnel changes, Alamance County Veteran Services will temporarily be taking Veterans and Dependents of Veterans by appointment only. This is a temporary change while we allow our newest employee to train and get federally certified through Veterans Affairs.  We anticipate full certification and a return to our open office hours by June 2016.

We are eager to help Veterans and will be here to meet the needs as always. Please call 336-570-6763 to schedule appointments. We are working hard to accommodate the Veterans of Alamance County.

January is National Radon Month

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Community, County News, Environmental Health, General News, Health, Public Events, Public Safety.

Time for Radon Testing

As the turning of the seasons brings colder weather to North Carolina and families close windows to keep warm, it is an excellent time to make plans for radon testing in your home.

Radon is the odorless, colorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The effects upon the families it touches can be just as devastating as lung cancer caused by smoking tobacco.

January is National Radon Action Month and Alamance County Environmental Health has partnered with the North Carolina Radon Program to provide free short-term radon test kits in recognition of National Radon Action Month. A limited supply of radon kits are being made available during the month of January at the Environmental Health office located at 209 N. Graham Hopedale Rd in Burlington. While supplies last, residents are welcome to come between the hours of 8am to 5pm to pick up a kit. Please call 336-570-6367 ext. 310 if you have questions.

Veterans Office Notice

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in County News, General News, Veterans.

Due to administrative changes at our Veterans Services, they will only be accepting Veterans by appointment until further notice. Effective 1/4/2016

To make an appointment, please contact the Alamance County Veteran Services Office at (336) 570-6763 between 8 AM and 5 PM, Monday-Friday
