Webster County 911 Dispatch Seeks Bids for Storm Shelter
What happened
Webster County 911 dispatch is asking for sealed bids until October 16 to construct a storm shelter. Dispatch center director McMillan stated that the current building is not suitable for dispatchers and could be damaged by a tornado. The plan includes installing a 50-square-foot metal storm shelter and utilizing a mobile dispatching van if phone lines fail. The director estimates the shelter will cost between $10,000 and $13,000.
