This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators week, Otoe County would like to recognize our unsung heroes who are our true First Responders. Please take some time to thank them for their service.
The next several weeks will be key to slowing the spread of the #COVID19 virus in Nebraska.
We are asking Nebraskans to further limit social interactions. Everyone should work, go home, and shop once a week.
Stay home whenever possible, stay healthy, and stay connected.
The Nebraska Joint Information Center is releasing news releases highlighting information on the state response to COVID-19. The news releases are online at: nema.nebraska.gov/news. To subscribe to the news releases, visit nema.nebraska.gov/subscribe-upda….
Flooding is a significant cause of loss of life and property during severe weather events. Just a few inches of moving water can knock a person off their feet. Remember to not walk or drive through any floodwaters. Turn Around Don’t Drown!! #LNK911 #LNK
Today is the last day of Nebraska’s Severe Weather Awareness Week #SWAW, and we hope you feel better prepared for the upcoming severe weather season! Today’s topic is Flooding.
Flooding is a coast-to-coast threat to some part of the country nearly every day of the year.

Lincoln weather radio station WXM20, at frequency 162.475 MHz, covers the western half of Otoe County. Essex weather radio station KZZ50, at frequency 162.55 MHz, covers at least the eastern part of Otoe County.
Until a fix to Shubert can be completed, people in Otoe County Nebraska can tune to the following NOAA Weather Radio stations: Omaha weather radio station KIH61, at frequency 162.4 MHz, covers mainly the northern part of Otoe County.
Otoe County Nebraska is normally served by three NOAA Weather Radio Stations originating out of Omaha, Lincoln and Shubert Nebraska. However, due to damage caused by ice this past winter, the Shubert NOAA Weather Radio signal is no longer able to reach all of Otoe County.
#ThankYouDispatchers! This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We are fortunate to have some amazingly talented individuals working at the Otoe County Sheriff's Office 911 Center. They are dedicated professionals and the "First" first responders.
Severe Weather season is fast approaching, the monthly test of the Outdoor Warning Sirens in Otoe County is this Saturday morning at 10AM. Remember, sirens are outdoor warning devices, always use a weather radio or smart phone app to receive Severe Weather Alerts.
As the emergency in the state continues information is abundant online and not all is trustworthy or accurate. All official information is posted on the State Emergency Operations Center at Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Please refer to our site at: nema.nebraska.gov

MO River here is expected to crest Sat near 29.8'. Drinking water is normal. Monitoring creeks & bridges. If travelling check Nebraska and Iowa 511 info for up-to-date road closures. If you come across water over a roadway, please remember: "Turn Around, Don't Drown!"
We continue to get reports of people slowing down for photos or arriving to watch the flood. Let us and all first responders do our jobs. Stay away please. Don’t endanger yourself for photos.
ATTENTION DRIVERS!
If you are driving on #Interstate80 and you cross the #PlatteRiver, DO NOT slow down to look at the flood water!
Unexpected slow downs cause confusion & accidents!
