As the highly anticipated solar eclipse approaches, towns and cities in its path of totality are preparing for an influx of visitors with celebratory events and viewing sites, while also facing pushback from some residents who view the preparations as excessive. Concerns about traffic congestion, public safety, and emergency response are prompting officials to take extra precautions, with some smaller communities like Wolfe City, Texas, urging visitors to steer clear due to limited resources. Authorities in states like Indiana and Ohio are also bracing for potential headaches and urging preparedness to ensure the health and safety of the public during the event.

Many schools in the U.S. are adjusting schedules for the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse, with some closing or canceling classes due to safety concerns. Districts in the eclipse's path are worried about traffic hazards, potential eye damage from unsafe viewing, and unsupervised students during the event. Some universities, like the University of Vermont, are offering alternative instruction days to capitalize on the educational opportunity presented by the rare eclipse.
