EMERGENCIES
First
aid equipment is located at the following cabins:
#44 –
Ellsworth #59
- Becker
#105 – Minardi
BBB Pavilion
Call
402-296-9370 for emergencies. If
you call 911, response time could be slowed due to the number of times your
call is transferred (Wahoo, Plattsmouth, Louisville). Be prepared to give
your name, street address, call-back phone number.
All cabin owners are asked
to display their street address (rather than, or in addition to, a cabin
number) that is visible from the road for emergency purposes. This
is the address emergency crews will use to locate you when responding to an
emergency call – not your cabin number.
Contact
the NLCA secretary when you have a change of address.
