IF YOU ARE ADVISED TO SHELTER LIVESTOCK

Ranchers and farmers may be advised to shelter livestock as a precautionary measure. If you are advised to shelter livestock, get stock into a building, if possible. If you can’t do this, place them in a small pen to restrict open grazing. Provide stored feed, and water them from groundwater supplies, such as wells, instead of open ponds.

AMARILLO / POTTER COUNTY 

There are several schools in the Potter County emergency response sectors of the EPZ including Highland Park Schools, Amarillo College’s East Campus and the Amarillo Montessori Day School.

  • If local officials recommend that people in the Potter County emergency response sectors shelter-in-place, schools in affected sectors will shelter students at the school under adult supervision until it becomes safe to return them to their homes, have parents pick them up, or in the case of Amarillo College, allow students to drive home. Do not come to the school to pick up students until you are told it is safe to do so.

  • If local officials recommend that people in the Potter County emergency response sectors evacuate, schools in this sector will evacuate students to the Reception Center in Amarillo by bus. They will remain at the Reception Center under adult supervision until picked up by their parents. Do not attempt to pick up students at school.

  • If evacuation is recommended for the Potter County emergency response sectors, Amarillo College students will be transported to the Reception Center by bus or be directed to drive to the Reception Center in their personal vehicles. After being checked at the Reception Center, they can proceed home (unless their home is in an area that as been evacuated), or they will be cared for until they can return home.
