I need to report a closing

When schools or businesses close due to inclement weather, WRAL.com lists them on the Closings page in the Weather section. 

If you are the contact person for your organization and want to report a closing, you will need a verification code. 

First, get your code:

Contact us on company letterhead with the following information:

• Business/Organization’s Name (up to 27 characters)
• Business/Organization Type
• Number of Paid Employees
• Number of Children/Students
• Full Address
• County
• Email Address
• Phone Number
• Fax Number
• Authorized Contact Person
• Contact Person’s Home/Cell Number and Email Address
• Correspondence must contain the name, official title and signature of the requester.

* Not meeting required criteria will result in denial of a closing ID/code.

Mail to:

Closure Desk
c/o WRAL-TV5
PO Box 12000
Raleigh, NC 27605

Once you have your code, you will use it to report a closing or delay. Reports submitted online will be reported on WRAL.com, WRAL-TV and WRAL-FM.
