SEVERE WEATHER
To make it easier for our citizens to gather potentially life-saving severe weather information, we have made several items available below:
The Marion County Public Safety app from the Marion County Sheriff's Department and EMA includes built-in severe weather notifications for Marion County. These are push notifications that are sent to any mobile phone almost instantly. The app is a great way to receive severe weather notifications, however it is always best to have multiple ways to receive alerts. It is recommended that every household have a NOAA Weather Radio.
NOAA Weather Radio Programming
We have a page dedicated to weather radio programming. See the link below for more information:
STORM SHELTERS
The following is a list of public storm shelters in Marion County. We encourage you to find your closest location BEFORE you need to seek shelter. We also encourage you to reach out to family members who may not have access to this information. Marion County E-911 is not responsible for maintaining any shelters, or for the accuracy of this list. It is made as a courtesy using information available to us. If any corrections or additions need to be made to the list, please email aavery@marion911.net
