The City of Hampton has activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as Hurricane Erin approaches.

This process is intended to ensure that resources are distributed efficiently, communication is clear, and residents receive accurate updates.
According to city officials, the EOC will remain operational until Hurricane Erin no longer poses a threat to Hampton.
Residents are encouraged to report downed power lines or trees, flooding, and blocked roads by contacting the Hampton 3-1-1 Citizen Contact Center at 757-727-8311 or emailing [email protected].
