We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to the recovery efforts on Ocracoke.

Hyde County Hurricane Dorian Press Release #10 

(Headline is the Current's.)

At this time, we have all the food and supply donations we can handle. Please do not send anything to the island without coordinating with our staff. You can call 833-543-3248 to let us know what you have and evaluate our current needs. Please be patient while we work to organize everything. If you would still like to donate to the relief effort, we would recommend a cash donation to the Outer Banks Community Foundation.

You can donate specifically to Ocracoke at the following website: https://www.obcf.org/donate-now/disaster-relief-fund-donate/

We are still restricting access to Ocracoke. Any private boats attempting to access the island will be turned away. The Ocracoke Airport is only for authorized government use. Please do not attempt to come unless you have prior authorization from the Hyde County EOC. While we certainly appreciate people trying to help, showing up without coordination actually interferes with the relief efforts.
