A broad community effort is underway as Sevier County mobilizes residents to bolster emergency preparedness.
Sevier County 911 is seeking updated contact information from livestock owners to create a reliable resource for emergency responders, aiming to speed identification and assistance during incidents involving animals on roadways, severe weather, fire, or other emergencies.
Sevier County 911 requests livestock owner contact updates
Sevier County 911 announced a campaign aimed at gathering up‑to‑date contact details from anyone who owns or cares for livestock in the county. The request was posted by the Sevier County Sheriff’s Department on its official RSS feed. The agency explains that accurate owner information can speed identification during emergencies.
The push applies to situations where animals are reported loose on roadways, involved in accidents, displaced by severe weather, threatened by fire, or otherwise in crisis. It states that responders can quickly locate owners once the data is available. No timeline for when the updated database will be completed has been provided.
Livestock owners are asked to scan a QR code that links to a short Microsoft Forms questionnaire. The form can be used to add new details, update existing records, or verify that current information remains correct. The information collected will be kept by Sevier County 911 for use in emergency response.
Officials emphasize that a few minutes spent filling out the form could save valuable time when seconds matter in an incident. They also encourage owners to share the request widely to reach as many residents as possible. Specific outcomes from the initiative are not yet known.
