Today’s winter storm and frigid, plummeting temperatures have caused the Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) to close their Worley street office today.
Health department officials say animal control will only respond to extreme emergencies, such as a vicious dog running loose or a gravely injured animal. Reports can be phoned in at (573) 449-1888.
The immediate printing of birth and death certificates are unavailable, while the building is closed.
