The Mower County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has established a phone line and email address for Essential Needs, according to Mower County Emergency Manager Amy Lammey.

“We ask that residents reach out to family, friends and neighbors, while maintaining social distancing, for help, but if that is unavailable, please call the Essential Needs Line for assistance,” Lammey said in a press release. “This is a message only line but will be answered!”

The Essential Needs phone can be reached at 507-396-8227. You can also send an email to em@co.mower.mn.us.
