Perry County hurricane guide¶
The Perry County Office of Emergency Management, at 1039 Fourche Ave. in Perryville, coordinates the efforts of governments, volunteer fire departments, and private groups during emergencies. The county is inland, so storm hazards come mainly as flash flooding, river flooding, and wind and heavy rain. The county page links to Smart911. The pages checked do not publish county-specific evacuation or flood guidance.
