Public Storm Shelters
When storm sirens are sounded, or a tornado warning is issued, it means a tornado has been sighted and cover should be taken immediately. Because of potential short warning time, citizens are encouraged to make arrangements with neighbors who have basements or safe rooms, so shelter can be taken as close to home as possible.

The public shelters may be available, but due to space limitations, should be used as a last resort. Sorry for any inconvenience, however, animals (other than service animals) are not allowed at the shelter.

If you have any questions regarding this service, please contact the Parsons Police Department at 620-421-7060.
