Due to the Tornado Watch being issued the Elmore County Emergency Management Agency has activated their Safer Places Program.

Please see the information below about Safer Places and how they function during severe weather events:

The purpose of the Safer Place Program in Elmore County is to facilitate the opening of pre-designated areas for citizens seeking a safer place prior to and during severe weather conditions. The Safer Place Program is not intended for long-term opening of a building for a mass care shelter. Instead the intent of the program is to provide a safer place (not safe as in a FEMA approved Safe Room), for individuals to seek shelter during severe weather (tornado, extreme cold or extreme heat). There are no meals or services provided by the host facility. Citizens are encouraged to bring anything they may need to sustain themselves (i.e. food, medicine, etc.). The safer place locations are not advertised as “tornado shelters” or “safe rooms” but as a location of last resort for those who need a safer place to stay prior to and during a severe weather event or during times of extreme cold or heat.

These are the Safer Places locations that are currently open until the Tornado Watch expires:

Shoal Creek Baptist Church.

Elmore County Courthouse – Downtown Wetumpka.

Redland Baptist Church.

Deatsville Volunteer Fire Department.

Town of Elmore – Fire Station 2 – Baltzer Road.

Town of Elmore – Penny Parkway

Town of Elmore – 1245 AL Hwy 143

First Baptist Church- Eclectic

Eclectic Police Station

Tallassee City Hall

Tallassee Police Department

Millbrook Baptist

Coosada Town Hall

New Home Baptist Church – Titus

Safer Place sites can also be found on our website at Safer Places and click on “I Understand” to go to the map page.

Yesterday I attended a Groundbreaking event for the expansion of the Grandview Family YMCA in Millbrook. This is a project our community has worked with the YMCA on for a long time leading up to this event.

The presence of the YMCA in our community has had a positive impact on generations of people that enjoy the many programs they offer.

I appreciate YMCA Director Bill Myers and his staff for their dedication to the YMCA, for Mayor Al Kelley and the Millbrook City Council for their support and for the many Y members and supporters that make all of this possible.
