Alabama TERT

We’re honored to share that several of our dedicated Shelby County 911 telecommunicators are deploying to North Carolina as part of the Alabama TERT (Telecommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce) to support relief efforts after Hurricane Helene.

Our thoughts are with everyone in North Carolina impacted by the storm, and we hope our team can offer some relief during this difficult time. We also want to recognize Katie, Kassadie, Kat, Linsey, and Laura, who have volunteered to spend 14 days away from their families to help where they’re needed most. Their willingness to serve in challenging conditions, with limited contact with loved ones, speaks to their commitment to others. We’re grateful for their service.
They’ll be working alongside personnel from Hoover 911 and the Madison County Sheriff's Office to provide much need relief to the communications professionals in North Carolina.

We also want to extend our thanks to our committed dispatchers who have remained at home and are working extra hours to continue providing vital services here in Shelby County.

We’ll do our best to share updates on their work and progress. Please keep them—and all those impacted by the hurricane—in your thoughts during this time.

We love our friends at Alabama Law Enforcement Agency ! Thank you to your Aviation Unit for taking the time to speak to our class - they are always the crowd favorites! 🚁
