Winter Resources and Information for Lincoln County

1/15/2024

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office put some important information and a list of winter weather community resources available in the county.

Partners throughout Lincoln County have been working tirelessly this week and weekend to meet community needs. Please see the information below for updates on sheltering, weather, and road conditions.

Continue to use caution and stay safe:

Be aware of conditions and avoid traveling unless necessary. Many roads are impacted by weather and debris. Do not try to access roads that are closed or blocked. This puts additional strain on first responders and crews working to clear the roads.
Check on neighbors and offer assistance as you are able.
Sidewalks and side streets may still be slippery or inaccessible.
Continue to monitor conditions, additional information resources are below.

Power outages are affecting many in the County:

If you are impacted by a power outage, seek help and shelter from neighbors or friends, or stay at a hotel with power if possible.
