In collaboration with the Roane County Sheriff’s Office, Roane County Schools, the Roane County Education Foundation, and the cities of Harriman, Kingston, and Rockwood, the Roane County Office of Emergency Services is seeking your support to aid victims of the catastrophic flooding affecting neighboring counties.
We are currently responding to an urgent request from the Cocke County School District for water. If you are able to help, please drop off bottled water at any of the following locations by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow (Tuesday, October 1st):
• Harriman Fire Station 1
• Rockwood City Fire Station
• Oliver Springs Fire Station
• Kingston Gravel Pits (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)
At this time, we are only collecting water. Before gathering any additional supplies, we will wait for guidance from county and city officials in the affected areas to ensure that we are meeting the specific needs of those impacted by this disaster. While we understand that many people are eager to help, it is crucial to coordinate efforts in a way that truly benefits those in need.
Additionally, several local churches are working directly with congregations in the impacted communities. You may contact them for further opportunities to assist.
Thank you for your generosity and support during this difficult time.
