Meriwether County's EMA page does not publish a list of storm shelters. Check CivicReady alerts and the county website to find out whether any shelter is open, and do not go to one until it is announced.

Each city has its own services and some have their own alerts. The county's evacuation zones, evacuation centers, and emergency alerts cover everyone, in every city and in unincorporated areas.
