Emergencies and natural disasters can be a part of life even in Russellville: tornados, fires, and flooding are among the many. Although these risks cannot be eliminated, the degree to which we are affected by them relates to how well we have prepared for them.

A good home emergency plan lends itself to protect you and your family against all disasters. Take the time now, to research your options, prepare a plan, stock up on emergency supplies, get trained, and be ready.

During an emergency, the City of Russellville's primary duty is to ensure public safety and restore services as soon as possible. In any natural disaster, City resources are directed toward evacuating residents as necessary, responding to police, fire, and medical emergencies, maintaining utility services and providing traffic control, and clearing streets of water or debris. After the emergency is over, the focus will turn to recovery and restoring services back to normal operation.

Although no one can predict when the next emergency will occur or what it will be, Russellville strives to be a community that educates it’s citizens and, in turn, is well-prepared for any unexpected event.
