During the continued state of emergency in Berrien County caused by this week’s floods, the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department has issued the following advisory for residents:

ANIMALS: For the individuals that had their pets rescued or housed by the Berrien County Animal Control Office within the past few days, due to the floods and heavy precipitation, when you are ready and able to pick up your pets, please call the Berrien County Animal Control Office during normal business hours at (269) 927-5648 to schedule an appointment.
During after-hours, please contact the Berrien County 911 Dispatch Center Office at the non-emergency number of (269) 983-7141 to schedule an appointment. The Berrien County 911 Dispatch Center will than obtain your information and forward it to an Animal Control Officer to contact you to schedule an appointment.

ROAD CLOSURES: If any roads have been barricaded or closed during this natural disaster, and the barricades remain on scene (either across the roadway or on the side of the roadway), please do not drive on the roadways even if no standing water is across the road. The roads still need to be inspected by the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Berrien County Road Department, or local Public Work Departments to ensure the roads are structurally sound. The roads may visually appear to be in good condition, however the integrity of the roads may have been weaken or damaged.
