Jackson County Saferoom Registration Form

How it works

Jackson County Emergency Management Agency uses this saferoom registration form to collect information it needs to locate a homeowner’s saferoom in the event of a disaster. The agency says the information is kept confidential and will not be shared with individuals, companies, or other agencies.

What the service provides

This is a registration service, not a cash grant or repair program. Homeowners submit details about the shelter so emergency managers can find it quickly when needed. The form requests the shelter address, city, state, ZIP code, phone number, email address, year the saferoom was built, a specific location description, and shelter characteristics such as whether it is inside a building, outside all buildings, concrete, steel, under ground, or above ground. There is also a space for GPS coordinates.

How to apply

Homeowners complete and submit the online form on the county website. The page also provides the Jackson County Emergency Management Office phone number, (256) 574-9344, for help if there are problems submitting the form.

Timing and deadlines

The page presents this as an ongoing registration form. No closing date or deadline is stated.

Important notes

The form states that no P.O. box numbers are allowed for the shelter address. The page thanks homeowners for providing this “possible life saving information.”
