Severe Weather Shelter Registration Program
The City of Bixby's Office of Emergency Management has initiated a Severe Weather
Shelter
Registration Program. This free, voluntary program allows residents who own a
personal
severe weather shelter in the Bixby city limits to register their shelter with the
Office of
Emergency Management. Shelter registration is part of our effort to be
proactive in response
to rescue situations that can occur as a result of severe weather.
This program will provide rescue personnel with valuable timesaving location information
should a storm shelter exit be blocked by debris or structural damage caused
by severe
weather.
We have always encouraged shelter owners to include an out-of-town accountability contact as
part of their personal severe weather plan. This program provides an additional safeguard
against being trapped in a shelter.
To register a storm cellar, Safe Room, or other personal severe weather shelter, contact the
Office of Emergency Management at (918) 366-8294. Information recorded will include the
owner's name, location of shelter, owner telephone contact number(s), and a brief
description
of the shelter type and specific location.
T
his information will be maintained by Emergency Management personnel and used only in the
event of structural damage from severe weather or other related incidents.
