Dare County 911 would like to remind visitors to pay attention to their surroundings and know your location.

You can find the address of your cottage on your check-in packet, as well as in the guest mobile app. Please make sure every member of your group knows the home's location.
We strongly encourage you to sign up for text alerts from either Dare County (for homes in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head) or Currituck County (for homes in Corolla and Powells Point).
