Graves County launches new emergency notification system for residents

Graves County residents can now sign up to be called automatically during the next weather or community emergency.

The Graves County Fiscal Court along with the Office of Emergency Management have invested in an emergency notification system known as Hyper-Reach.

The system will warn residents by sending a text, voice call or email to alert you about emergencies like dangerous weather, missing persons, road closures, gas leaks or boil water orders. The messages can be targeted down to the specific streets or neighborhood that is involved.

For the Hyper-Reach system to be the most effective, it will require as many Mayfield and Graves County residents as possible to sign up and register what device you want to receive these notifications on. There is no cost for you to sign up. If you choose to not sign up, you will not receive emergency notifications from the system.

The link to sign up for the service is on the Graves County Sheriff's Facebook page.
