Macon County hurricane guide¶

The Macon County Emergency Management Agency in Montezuma is responsible for disaster planning, mitigation, and response in the county. Macon County is inland, and its pages describe tornadoes, severe weather, and planning rather than evacuation. Parts of the county's pages are old (a 2020 notice appears in the side bar), so call to confirm before relying on a name or number.

Evacuation centers¶

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Macon County's pages do not list shelters. Call the county EMA or check local news before going to any shelter.
