The Moultrie County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has announced a new emergency notification system for Moultrie County residents and business owners. Moultrie County has transitioned from the previous CodeRED system to a new Moultrie County Emergency Notifications service. It’s designed to quickly send notifications about severe weather, road closures, public safety matters, and other time-sensitive events to specific locations when and where they matter most. 

When severe weather strikes, roads may close unexpectedly, or emergencies may affect your community. Timely information can help keep families, employees, customers, and property safe. Whether you’re a parent trying to keep your family safe or a local business owner responsible for employees and operations, receiving timely information can help you make decisions during rapidly changing circumstances.

On Saturday, June 6th at 1:00 p.m., Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 will be placing a POW/MIA Chair of Honor at the Sullivan American Legion Post 68, located at 8 East Strain Street in Sullivan. POW/MIA Chairs of Honor are perpetually empty seats placed in public spaces to solemnly commemorate the tens of thousands of American service members who are Prisoners of War (POW) or Missing in Action (MIA) and have not yet returned home. The empty space is designed to remind the public that even though missing soldiers are absent, there is always a reserved space waiting for them upon their return, and these chairs symbolize a steadfast vow that America will never stop searching for those who have not returned. Rolling Thunder, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of U.S. Prisoners of War (POWs) and Missing in Action (MIA), and supporting veterans and their families. Rolling Thunder is not a motorcycle gang; rather, they are a veterans’ advocacy group. Membership does not require you to own a motorcycle or be a veteran.
