Program details

How it works

Hopkins County offers a voluntary storm-shelter registry for residents who already have a safe room or storm shelter. The county says the registry is used to map shelter locations and help emergency responders locate and assist people who may be trapped by storm debris during a weather-related emergency.

What the program provides

This is a free registration service, not a repair grant or rebate. The county uses the information to create a database of storm shelter locations in Hopkins County.

How to apply

Residents can register online or call the Hopkins County GIS Department at 270-825-7013. The county asks for the homeowner’s name, phone number, email, address, shelter location, and shelter type.

Privacy

The county says storm-shelter information will not be shared or distributed for any reason other than aiding Hopkins County emergency responders.
