STORM SHELTER REGISTRATION.
The Marshall County Emergency Management has put together a database which will be viewable only by our Emergency Management Team after a disaster impacts our County. This database will pinpoint the exact location of all personal storm shelters in Marshall County. The purpose of this database is to make sure personal storm shelters are checked after a disaster has struck. It is possible a shelter could have debris blown over top of the entrance. We believe it is important that when we are responding to a scene we do not overlook these shelters in case someone is trapped inside.
This program is voluntary and no fees are associated with it and allows us to be proactive in our responses during a disaster.
This information will be confidential and utilized if we believe a disastrous situation has impacted your location and will allow us to ensure valuable timesaving efforts have been accomplished to ensure your safety. Information recorded will include the owner’s name, telephone number, location and a description of the shelter, and emergency contact info.
The shelter identification program helps safeguard against anyone being trapped in a shelter. Please be aware that the Emergency Management personnel will conduct a visit to complete the registration process.
To register your shelter (any type such as an underground shelter, safe room or other type of shelter) please email or call the Marshall County Emergency Management Office at curt.curtner@marshallcountyky.gov, darlene.lynn@marshallcountyky.gov or 270-527-4739.
