Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security (EMHS) works hand-in-hand with the commissioners to help keep our community safe from natural and man-made disasters and coordinates planning, education, warning, response, and recovery efforts to prepare and protect the residents of Franklin County.
In 2022, EMA began a new mass notification program to provide text alerts to Franklin County residents during a disaster or other critical incident. The new initiative is called FCReady. It’s a free service and signing up doesn’t require residents to create an account or submit personal information to get disaster and weather alerts.
