Missing person response proves Elmore County is prepared

Submitted / TPI A drone operator flys a drone during missing person search between Claud Fleahop Road and Tallassee last week. Drones are a resource available to fire departments and law enforcement when coordinated through the Elmore County EMA.

First responders can never predict exactly how a disaster will occur. 

They won’t know if a search for a missing person will occur today, tomorrow, next week or next year. They might get a few days notice of a weather event. But the one thing they can do is prepare.

Prepared

Submitted / TPI The missing man reported last week along Claud-Fleahop Road with reports he could be between there and Tallassee brought out many resources from Elmore County including EMA, fire departments and law enforcement.
