City and Utility Information

The Benton County Division of Public Safety is requesting residents report personal property structural damage from Sunday morning storms.  The county said in a news release that residents can use the Benton County Citizen Damage Reporter portal to enter their estimated personal property structural damage.

The City of Rogers says residents are encouraged to stay indoors if possible. Downed power lines and gas leaks pose significant hazards, and it is important to allow emergency crews to work without obstruction. If you do leave your home, exercise extreme caution and avoid any areas with visible damage or emergency activity. This includes parks and trails, many of which will need sufficient time to be cleared of damage. There are many limbs down in Rogers due to the storm. As the state of this emergency progresses, roads are open and power is restored, the City will begin a discussion on limb removal and pickup. While professional crews are addressing the most critical issues, community support is invaluable during this time. Residents who wish to help are encouraged to start locally in their neighborhoods. Simple acts such as checking on neighbors, especially the elderly and those with limited mobility, can make a significant difference.

Benton County Emergency Management says you can visit their website to report damage and get other helpful information.

Carroll Electric's Emergency Response Plan is available online.

Black Hills Energy customers are urged to inspect their natural gas meters for storm damage and the following natural gas safety reminders: 

• Natural gas smells like rotten eggs for a reason. If your nose picks up this scent, immediately leave the area and call 911 once you’re away from the site.
• If you smell natural gas, leave your home immediately and call 911, then call Black Hills Energy at 888-890-5554.
• Wait for Black Hills Energy or emergency personnel to arrive before re-entering the building. Emergency personnel will let you know when it is safe to return.
• Do not turn on lights, ignite a flame, use a cellphone or use anything that might cause a spark, including a flashlight or a generator.
