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.

Fire Emergency
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.

Emergency Numbers
Give the following telephone numbers to friends or relatives who may need to contact you during the “Lucky 13” convention so you can be found in the event of an emergency.

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 in Houston County, and a map showing adjoining counties appears to the right. 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 fairgrounds’ public address system; send out text messages to attendees signed up for FMCA’s text-messaging service; and issue push notifications for those using the FMCA event app.

Please note that weather can affect the reception of digital TV stations. If TV reception fails, please listen to a weather alert radio or, at a minimum, a radio with local AM or FM stations. Digital TV signals are more susceptible to interference than analog signals. The Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter recommends that family members tune in to radio station WDEN, 99.1 FM; television station 13WMAZ; or through the internet: www.macon.com for any weather-related emergency information. A complete listing of “Television and Radio stations” is located in the “Grounds Services” section.
