Greene County 9-1-1 has been recognized for its efforts during the flooding from Hurricane Helene last year.
At the Tennessee Emergency Number Association Convention this week in Murfreesboro, Greene County 9-1-1 was honored as a Dispatch Incident of the Year award winner in the medium size category for agencies with four to six dispatchers. Greene County has six during a normal shift but it was all hands on deck for a 48 hour period leading up to, during and following the disaster.
The award is for successful handling of a major, critical, spectacular or noteworthy incident that involves the coordination of multiple public safety responses and other resources.
