News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
With recent weather events, Clay County 911 wants to remind residents of its emergency alert straight to your phone.
911 Director Beth Moulton said the services notifies via land line and cell phone through text or call.
“It gives them the opportunity to know about severe weather,” Moulton said. “But we also use it for other things like if you had a prisoner escape, a missing child or a missing elderly person.”
Moulton said the department has seen several residents switch from land lines to cell phones but have not got the free service. You can find a link on the Clay County 911 Facebook page or just Google Hyper-Reach Clay County Alerts.
Moulton said Clay County has used the New York based service for several years.
