Southeast Region 911 Announces Text-to-911 Service

For Immediate Release January 22, 2019

The Southeast Region 911 is announcing the availability of Text –to- 911 service for its 16 member counties in southeast Nebraska. At this time, Text-to-911 service is available to the public, through most wireless carriers in the Southeast Region.

Text to 9-1-1 is the next step in accessing emergency services as technology advances. While this is exciting technology that is existing with our daily communications, Text-to- 911 is not meant to take the place of calling 911 using standard voice calls.

The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Text- to- 911 campaign reminds citizens to “Call if you can, Text if you can’t.” For those individuals who are hearing or speech impaired Text-to-911 provides a more convenient method to report an emergency. For anyone who is in a place where they cannot safely talk on the phone, are unable to speak or lack of service won’t allow for a voice call, Text-to-911 can also be an important and life-saving tool.

Calling 911 is still preferred as Text to 9-1-1 has some limitations to include:

• • Location acquisition is much more limited and often not available, where voice 911, will typically provide very good location information as to the caller’s whereabouts.
• • There is no guarantee your Text-to-911 text has made it to an emergency dispatch center until you receive a reply from the emergency operator.
• • Information can be obtained more quickly with a voice conversation than via text.

For information regarding Text-to-911 and the need to “Call if you can, Text if you can’t”, please see the Federal Communications Commission website @ https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/what-you-need-know-about- text-911.

The Lofte Community Theatre, located in Manley, NE will perform a radio dinner theatre, and host the Fremont TriTones February 15th and 16th.  Bring your Valentine, avoid the busy restaurant crowd, and celebrate with us! We have a night filled with Dinner, Drama, and Music. Love Is On The Air!

Join us for an old-fashioned comedic radio play, complete with commercials and musical interludes provided by the Fremont TriTones, a harmonic group inspired by the sounds of the Andrews Sisters.

The script, written by Eric Coble, “A Brief History of 20th Century Theatre,” is a clever tongue-in-cheek mixture of the era of radio drama, seasoned with some modern-day culture.  Let us take you back to a nostalgic time when entertainment meant families gathered around the radio!

The dinner menu will be:  grilled chicken with creamy garlic sauce, twice baked potatoes, a mixture of roasted vegetables, cake, and a cash bar available.

On February 24th at 2PM join us for our Annual Meeting! This is a free event! If you have been a volunteer at the Lofte, this is the night we recognize and appreciate you! Join us not only for our annual meeting, but for recognition awards for all the people who make the Lofte work!
