In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing preparations for shelter openings in response to an impending crisis. Emphasizing that shelters are a \"refuge of last resort,\" they confirmed that announcements regarding specific shelter locations would be made early the following day.

Efforts are underway to mobilize teams and ensure that necessary supplies and equipment are in place. Notably, Carter County Schools will remain closed through at least Thursday, as the school district collaborates with local authorities to prepare facilities for potential shelter use.

Officials cautioned that while these shelters will provide essential refuge, they may not offer comfortable accommodations due to limited space and resources. The community is urged to stay informed as further details are expected to be released soon.
