Overview: How Stevens County Sheriff’s Office Used Hyper-Reach to Ensure Public Safety During a Gas Leak
When a natural gas leak threatened a local city in Stevens County, WA, the Sheriff’s Office and 911 Division needed to act fast. Residents had to be evacuated immediately, and emergency responders needed a way to accurately notify the right areas without delay. Using Hyper-Reach’s mapping tool, officials successfully coordinated two evacuation zones, ensuring the right messages reached the right people—fast.
