Waverly hurricane guide¶

Waverly is a tiny town where Chambers, Lee, and Tallapoosa counties meet. The main dangers when a hurricane or tropical storm passes are strong wind, falling trees, power outages, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Police, fire, and ambulance calls go through 911, which sends help from the county where you call from.

What to know in Waverly¶

• Because Waverly sits where three counties meet, a 911 call brings police, fire, or an ambulance from the county you are calling from. In the Lee County part of town, 911 sends an ambulance from Opelika, the closest.
• The town has a storm shelter for tornadoes, behind the Pavilion and to the left of the Waverly Community Center. Check town and county alerts to find out whether it is open. Signs on Patrick Street show where to turn. No pets are allowed. For hurricane evacuation shelters, check the county's list of open shelters.
