COMMENT PERIOD IS CLOSED.

A draft of the Limestone County Hazard Mitigation Plan update is available for the public to review and to provide comments.  The purpose of updating the county’s Hazard Mitigation Plan is to minimize or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from known hazards in the area, such as severe weather or flooding, through effective mitigation.

Public comment on these plans allows community members to provide input and feedback, ensuring the plan is comprehensive and addresses local concerns. This process is crucial for creating effective and well-supported mitigation strategies.

The Mitigation Plan is a joint effort between Limestone County, Ardmore, Athens, Elkmont and Mooresville.

Public comments for this plan will be accepted during the month of August.  Deadline will be  Sunday, August 31st.

Limestone County Emergency Management Agency Releases Emergency Preparedness Guide for Citizens

The Limestone County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has released an Emergency Preparedness Guide to help citizens prepare for the top hazards that may impact the county. The guide can be viewed online and is also available for download.

Beginning in January 2022, Limestone County Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with TVA, will make a permanent change to the testing schedule for the Outdoor Warning Siren System along with 3 other counties. Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone and Morgan Counties will begin testing sirens on the first Wednesday of each month.

Previously, these tests were conducted on the 2nd Monday of each month in order to maintain these sirens in the event of an emergency.

January 5th will be the first day to reflect the new change so please mark you calendars with the test date change. If you receive a calendar from TVA, you will note the change posted on the test day of each month.
