As we prepare for the effects of Hurricane Ian in the region, the development community should immediately review the following list to ensure their jobs sites are as safe as possible before the storm: 

• All job sites must be secured and free of debris which may be affected by high winds and/or flooding. 
• All job site equipment, scaffolding, lifts, and cranes must be secured. 
• All street potholes need to be filled-in with temporary asphalt (cold patch). No stone.

• All open pits need to be filled-in or secured.  
• All sidewalk closures need to be safe and secure. They should be re-opened, if possible. 
• Remove all non-permanent lane closures to accommodate emergency vehicles. 

Inspection Information: 

• Inspection services may be limited in some capacity if staff are required to conduct storm damage after the event. 

• In the event of major damage, normal scheduled inspection services will be suspended until further notice. 

Residents can download the City’s Ready Raleigh Emergency Guide for helpful information regarding storm damage and inspections.
