Putnam County has been placed under a Tornado Watch until 11:00pm. This means conditions are favorable for tornado development with any storms that pop up.
Putnam County Emergency Management Agency has activated the Community Safe Places program. These are shelters open to the public, which provide sturdy shelter for those who live in mobile homes or unsturdy structures.
These shelters will remain open until the conclusion of the Tornado Watch.
Please use this time to make preparations:
- Have a storm readiness plan for your home.
- Ensure your NOAA Weather Radio is operational.
- Stay #WeatherAware and tuned into our social media and local media for updates.
- Visit www.putnamcountytn.gov to sign up for local emergency alerts.
