Information Central

Call 911
When you call the emergency number, 911, tell the dispatcher your location. If you do not have immediate access to a telephone, please send someone to the Information Center. He or she may need to meet the emergency vehicle and lead it to the site of the emergency.

To aid emergency personnel in locating the site of an emergency in a parking area, persons needing help should turn on their RV's emergency flashers and sound their horns.

In the event of an RV fire emergency, please evacuate by foot. Do not attempt to move your RV, because this may present a dangerous situation for fire equipment attempting to enter the area, as well as for others attempting to evacuate on foot.

A loud audible siren will alert you to the possibility of severe weather in the Perry area. The strongest shelters found at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter are the restroom facilities located throughout the grounds and in the buildings. The strongest building is the Reaves Arena away from the glass doors. If severe weather occurs after activities end for the day, every effort will be made to unlock all the facilities. The city of Perry is located in Houston County and a map showing adjoining counties appears below.

In the unlikely event of severe weather, local law enforcement agencies also will be dispatched to make announcements throughout the parking areas. FMCA will make announcements on the public address system of the fairgrounds; send out text messages to attendees that are signed up for the EZ Texting text-messaging service; and issue push notifications for those using the FMCA event app.
