The City of Martin

City of Martin to send emergency notices on these occasions:
1. Tornado Warning for Martin
2. Tornado sighting in an area adjacent to Martin
3. Missing Child alerts
4. Missing Adult alerts
5. Winter Warning
6. Evacuation
7. Shelter Notification
8. Earthquake
We would anticipate that between 10 and 15 alerts would be sent out each
