Hyper-Reach Emergency Alerts

The Marion County MS Emergency Management Agency is now using the Hyper-Reach notification system. This system can email, text, and call registered participants important information about emergencies such as tornado warnings, boil water advisories, evacuation orders, Amber Alerts and Silver Alerts.
