Almost every household with a land line in Franklin County will get a telephone call around 10 o’clock Friday morning. The call will be from the sheriff’s office testing its new Wireless Emergency Notification System.
The Wireless Emergency Notification System works as a reverse 911 system and allows emergency officials to call every home in the county or just call certain sections of the county depending on the type and location of an emergency. The system will provide evacuation and re-entry notifications, Amber Alert notifications, road closure notifications and NOAA severe weather warnings in any specific area of Franklin County.
All land line phones are automatically connected to the system; Friday’s test will ensure that the calls are going through. The system will be able to determine if the customer received the test notification and will also determine if the test was successful.
People with cell phones have to request to be added to the system.

You can also register by calling the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office at 850-670-4829.
