Program details

How it works

Benton County Emergency Management runs a storm shelter registry for shelters located within Benton County. The page says the registry gives emergency personnel time-saving information if your storm shelter is blocked by debris after a disaster.

What the service covers

This is a preparedness and response service, not a cash grant or rebate. The county uses the registry information to help responders locate residents faster after a natural disaster.

How to apply

The page provides a Storm Shelter Form and says that if your shelter is in Benton County and you are unable to add it to the registry, or if you need to update information about an already-registered shelter, you should contact the Emergency Management Agency for assistance.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state an end date, application window, or funding limit.
