Metro Deactivates Emergency Operations Center

2/26/2015

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has deactivated the Emergency Operation Center as the severe weather is believed to have passed.

“The people of Nashville deserve our thanks for their patience and their endurance over the past 10 days or so,” said Nashville Fire Chief Ricky White. “While we appreciate the hard work of all Metro departments, Metro Public Works deserve special thanks. If Public Works hadn’t done their job, none of us would have been able to do ours. They’re the heroes of this hour.”

Metro’s Community Hotline will remain operational 24 hours a day and can be reached at (615) 862-8750. In case of an emergency, residents should call 9-1-1.
