The mayor has issued a curfew within the city of Spencer from tonight, 6/22 at 10:30pm – 6am tomorrow morning.

Rescue by emergency personnel has been stopped to allow them to focus on urgent resident needs such as medical emergencies. We will have law enforcement and fire rescue personnel standing by through the night.

The shelters open are staffed and food/water will be available to those staying at those locations only. We will have a disbursement center set up soon, when supplies can be brought in. Anyone going to the shelter needs to take their personal medications with them in their bottles. Those without medication access should alert shelter staff at check-in for assessment of immediate needs.

A press release with up-to-date information and a recap of events from today will go out tomorrow morning after the 8am emergency management meeting.
