Rothenburger Announces Execution of Agreement with Metro United Way for 2-1-1 Service

 

SHELBYVILLE, KY.  Shelby County Fiscal Court has authorized County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger to execute an agreement between the Metro United Way and the Shelby County Emergency Management Association for 2-1-1 telephone service during a crisis or natural disaster. 

 

2-1-1 telephone service has the ability to assist in times of crisis and disaster by providing vital information to concerned citizens regarding neighborhood and area access, health hazards, utilities repair, shelters, and clean-up efforts.  “2-1-1 telephone service is a critical component during disaster response and recovery efforts by lessening non-emergency calls to 9-1-1 centers,” Rothenburger stated.

 

Shelby County Fiscal Court will pay $1,000 annually to Metro United Way to defray operating costs for the 2-1-1 service. 2-1-1 is now in effect for Shelby County.
