Harrison County Statement on Curfew and Travel
From: Harrison County EOC News Release Filed 9/2/08 GCN
A statement from Harrison County Emergency Management officials regarding
the curfew:
As of 6:00 a.m. on
Tuesday, September 2, travel within Harrison County is limited to checking
on homes and businesses and for going to and from work.
The restriction on
travel is imposed to reduce traffic congestion and prevent collisions.
Numerous traffic lights are not working and many streets are closed due to
downed trees and other hazards, which are conditions significantly raising
the risk for motor vehicle crashes.
If you do not have
an imperative reason to travel, please stay in your home or in other
shelter and stay off the streets. Officials strongly discourage travel for
sight-seeing. Law enforcement will be working to ensure compliance with
these travel restrictions.
