CONTACT: Jennifer Shidler, Community Outreach & Public Affairs Coordinator
NOLANVILLE, - March 13, 2024 – The long-awaited solar eclipse event of April 8th will grace the skies of Central Texas, drawing countless spectators to witness the “Totality” Phenomenon. As the eclipse path sweeps through our region, Nolanville residents are urged to prepare for increased traffic, heightened demand for goods, and potential delays.
Nolanville may not have the bustling infrastructure of larger cities, but its proximity to the eclipse path brings both opportunities and challenges. Recognizing the potential impact on our community, local authorities emphasize the importance of proactive planning to minimize any disruptions to daily life.
"Residents of Nolanville should anticipate heavier traffic, potential supply shortages at stores, and increased activity at gas stations during the eclipse," advised Chief of Police, Michael Hatton. "This is not a cause for panic but rather an opportunity to prepare and ensure a smooth experience for everyone."
To minimize inconvenience, residents are encouraged to take the following steps:
- Stock Up: Prioritize essential supplies such as water, food, and emergency provisions well in advance of April 8th to avoid shortages.
- Plan Travel: If possible, plan travel around peak eclipse times to reduce congestion on roads. Allow for extra time if commuting or traveling during the event.
- Stay Informed: Follow local news and updates from authorities for any developments or advisories related to the eclipse.
- Be Patient and Courteous: Expect delays and increased crowds and approach the event with patience and understanding. Extend courtesy to fellow residents and visitors alike.
For further information and updates, residents are encouraged to visit the City of Nolanville website or contact local authorities.
