Community Safe Room

The Town of Butler Community Safe Room is located at
222 S Mulberry Avenue directly behind City Hall.

The safe room is intended to provide protection for members of our community and the employees of businesses located within our city limits during major weather events. The safe room is designed to meet all State and Federal Emergency Management Agency ​specifications for high wind and severe weather outbreaks.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules and operations plans that will be in place when the safe room is open.

Community Safe Room Operation Plans

Tornado Watch
A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of a tornado in the area and indicates the possibility of tornado development. The site-coordinator/police and fire departments will monitor the weather through the direct feed link with the Choctaw County Emergency Management Service and the National Weather Service.

Tornado Warning
A tornado warning means that a tornado has actually been spotted or is strongly indicated on radar. When a tornado warning is broadcast, EMA will instruct Choctaw County E911 to activate the severe weather warning sirens to alert our community that a warning has been issued and for residents to seek shelter immediately. The site-coordinator will then OPEN the safe room.
