The city has changed its plans for emergency shelters with the changing track of Hurricane Florence, it announced Wednesday afternoon.

As the storm now appears to be less of a threat to Hampton Roads, the Nansemond River High School emergency shelter will not open unless a need arises.

The King’s Fork High School shelter, located at 351 Kings Fork Road, will still open as planned at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

As the King’s Fork High School shelter will not have accommodations for pets, pet owners can contact the Suffolk Police Department at 923-2350. This is also the number to call for general questions about the shelter.

Hurricane Florence is now expected to make landfall near the North Carolina/South Carolina border, but significant impacts — including 4 to 6 inches of rain, tropical storm-force winds and storm surge — still are predicted for Hampton Roads.
