Two American Red Cross shelters are open for residents who are without power.
  • The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum at 4000 Parnell Avenue
  • South Side High School at 3601 South Calhoun Street
Residents coming to the shelter are encouraged to bring blankets, pillows, toiletry items, games and toys for children, and any other supplies that will make their stay more enjoyable.  
  • If you see a downed power line call 911. Do not touch downed utility wire.
  • 311 will be open until at least midnight tonight for non-emergency calls. If the call volume continues to run high it will remain open.
  • Check on the well-being of elderly neighbors and family members; if they are without power, encourage them to go to a shelter or a family member's house that has electricity.
  • If a house has no power, turn any faucets on an outside wall on to a trickle to prevent pipes from freezing
