Register Storm Shelter GPS Coordinates
WALKER COUNTY, Ala. (WIAT) - April 27th proved the importance of a tornado shelter ... but what if you are trapped under debris.
Emergency management officials are reminding homeowners to pass along GPS coordinates or name and address of the shelter to local emergency officials.
The information is stored in a database so that if your home collapses on top of the shelter, the coordinates will allow emergency responders to find the tornado shelter underneath debris.
