Forsyth County government has switched to a new company to provide emergency and severe weather alerts.
Swift911 is now giving emergency notification to residents via email, phone call and/or text message, replacing Twenty First Century Communications. A county spokeswoman said Swift is more user-friendly and also allows the county more flexibility in sending messages.
