Text to 911 is now LIVE in the city of Nashville
In a special called Metro Council meeting tonight about emergency response times in Nashville, the Department of Emergency Communications announced that the text to 911 service is now live in the city of Nashville. Noting that they currently only receive approximately 100 texts per month. If you can't call, text your emergency to 911. Please remember that prank texting is a crime and is easily traced. In the first message, send the location and type of emergency, and please don't text and drive. This is a great advancement for those in situations where speaking out loud could place you in danger and for those that are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired.
