Falls County hurricane guide

Falls County Emergency Management and 911, run by the county's EMC/911 Coordinator in Marlin, plans for disasters in the county. Falls County is inland along the Brazos River, so tropical storm remains can bring heavy rain and flooding. The county links a free emergency alert system run with the Heart of Texas Council of Governments. Sign up before a storm.

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.

Falls County does not publish a list of shelters. If shelters open, follow announcements from the county and your city. Do not go to a shelter until it is announced as open.

Cities and towns

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.
