The City of Meridian Sets Up Emergency Hotline

The City of Meridian has set up a hotline and email for all storm related issues. They have been getting so many calls, emails, social media messages, that they decided to streamline it and make it easier for everyone.

Residents can call 208-895-3300 or email storm@meridiancity.org.

In a press release, city officials said they would document all the calls, prioritize requests and concerns based on “severity and availability of resources.”

Residents who call the hotline will hear a daily update along with useful tips.

The city’s current priority is clearing storm drains. The city is asking for the public’s help with this project. Residents can find a map of storm drains in their neighborhoods online at http://www.meridiancity.org/storm/.

They’re still working on clearing walkways around schools and residential cul-de-sacs first and foremost.
