We currently have a truck load of bottled water that should be here any minute. We will set up some distribution sites and will work with other agencies to try and get water to those who are unable to get out."

 

"We will be next to the Dollar store at Shady Grove with water until about 4 this afternoon and again tomorrow from 8 to 4, you can also pick up water at the city maintenance building in town at 128 north Central till 4:00."

 

Regarding the Warming Centers:
