Finding your public storm shelter
Finding your public storm shelter By Cheyenne Cole | March 9, 2021 at 6:51 PM CST - Updated March 9 at 6:51 PM
LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - During tornadic weather, many turn to public shelters but, where are they and how are public shelters planning to protect people against severe weather and contracting COVID-19?
Stephens County Emergency Management official Gary Curtis said, for Stephens County residents, the public shelter is located in the courthouse on the ground level.
“Most all injuries and deaths occur from those being outside from flying debris,” he said, “not from actually in the homes themselves and that’s what we’re more concerned about because a lot of people wait until the last minute and the danger is a lot higher with them trying to come all the way here to the shelter.”
NORTH REDINGTON BEACH â The utilities undergrounding project that began with former Mayor Harold Radcliffe in 2000 is still in progress today, with current Mayor Bill Queen expecting a completion date of 2025. A discussion of the mammoth undergrounding project of the entire town was the centerpiece of the commission meeting Feb. 11.
Queen began the discussion with a timeline of the project. In 2000-2004 the undergrounding of the residential streets was self-funded by the town at a cost of $1.9 million. From 2010-2019, undergrounding the east side of Gulf Boulevard was funded by Pinellas County at a cost of $1.1 million.
Undergrounding the west side of Gulf Boulevard is the final phase of the project, running from 2020-2025. The estimated cost of $2 million for the west side of Gulf Boulevard is funded by both the county and the town. The county funds the lionâs share, but the town will use its reserves for payment of costs over Penny-for-Pinellas funding of $1.6 million.
