Delaware County hurricane guide¶

Delaware County Emergency Services, in Delhi, is the county office that prepares for, responds to, and helps the county recover from emergencies. The county's disaster preparedness page says that residents of Delaware County can suddenly find themselves in the middle of a disaster, and tells people to look at risks where they live, such as flooding in a low lying area. The county asks residents to plan ahead, because pets are not normally allowed in public shelters.
