Pike County was spared any major damage from the April 27, 2011 tornadoes, but many local residents traveled to help clean up homes demolished in Lamar County. A new emergency notification system will automatically call all Pike County residents as soon as the National Weather Service releases a tornado warning for Pike County.
County approves DeltAlert system
Commissioners voted Dec. 14 to approve a software license and agreement with DeltAlert to provide a web-based telephone emergency notification system for citizens in case of emergencies. The system would rapidly initiate alerts to home and cell phones during local, state and national emergencies. The cost for the alert system is $14,700, with a grant paying half of the total cost.

Smart people know that comment 1 is not mine. The only true part is that I have a big mouth......but I will not quit blogging long enough to call anyone, for free or with pay.
