When calling 911 from your cell phone,
knowing 911 isn't enough. Unlike
your landline at home, a call from your cell phone doesn't
provide an address to the 911 dispatcher.
So if you should ever call 911 from your cell phone,
tell the 911 dispatcher exactly where you are. That way, the
911 dispatcher can send the emergency responder to the
correct location.
A Message from the Director...
Welcome to the website of the Henry County
Emergency Communications District/911. Acting through its Board
of Directors, staff and the Public Safety Answering Point supported by
the District, our mission is to provide the public with the most reliable,
effective and efficient Enhanced 911 system possible.
The Henry County Emergency Communications
District was created by Public Referendum and went live in July
of 1989. Since then, the District has witnessed many changes in
telecommunications technology and met these new challenges with
the delivery of enhanced 911 services to the citizens of Henry
County.
As we move into the future, it will be no different as we
respond to new challenges such as Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VOIP) and other new technology. Henry County 911 will continue
to make necessary technological changes required to meet the
demands of the public's increasing use of wireless
communications devices.
Thank you for your interest in 911, and we
welcome your comments or suggestions for improving this website.
Mark
Archer, Director
Henry County 911
John Etheridge, Chairman
Henry County Emergency Communications District
