- Mitigation (prevention)
- Preparedness
- Response
- Recovery from incidents that can affect our citizen’s lives, property, and the environment.

Emergency Notifications
Shelby County emergency officials offer CivicReady, a mass notification system to county residents and workers. The system is used to inform citizens of:
- local emergencies
- environmental hazards
- weather alerts
- criminal activity
- missing persons
Sign up to receive notification of urgent situations via phone, text, or email messages. TXXT/TTD service is available for the hearing impaired.
A comprehensive emergency management program works together with community leaders, the public and private sector, individuals and families. We all have a responsibility to prepare and take the necessary steps to help keep ourselves, our families, and our communities safe.
