A new emergency notification system is rolling out in Shelby County called Text-My-Gov, to be utilized in the events of sever weather, road closure, and public safety updates. Scott McKee, Shelby County EMA Director says once the system is ready, citizens can begin their sign-up process to receive important, live information.

McKee describes how Text-My-Gov will not only improve communication from the EMA to the public but also between the first responding units.

The program is still being developed and coordination between all cities is crucial.
