Henry County Announces Transition to Regroup for Public Alerts CLINTON, Mo. — Henry County, Missouri, is transitioning to Regroup as its new mass communication program to help keep residents and others with an interest in the county informed about emergencies and important public information. The program will provide notifications about emergencies, weather information, law enforcement information, boil water advisories, and other important county updates. Regroup will replace Everbridge following substantial increases in the cost of the previous service. The change will save Henry County taxpayers $16,000 over three years while supporting the county’s public communication needs. Everyone must sign up for the new program, including current Everbridge subscribers. Henry County is beginning with new registrations to improve the accuracy of phone numbers and email addresses. Participants should enter current contact information when enrolling. Registration is open to all Henry County citizens and anyone with an interest in Henry County. To sign up, visit www.henrycomo.com and click the registration link. Henry County will also conduct a social media campaign with signup links to help people enroll. Henry County encourages everyone to register and share the signup information with family, neighbors, and others who want to stay informed about the county.

Clinton Animal Shelter·We are looking for pet friendly businesses in the Clinton area that would allow us to come in and do PET POP UPS. This might only be 1 to 3 dogs, or it could be a kennel of cats or kittens.
We would advertise ahead of time that we are going to be at your business, and it would only be for an hour or two or however long you would allow us to stay. No work on your part! Just allow us to hang out. This gives people another place to come to meet the pet besides the shelter.
These types of events get our homeless pets out in public and seen. It also gets them more socialization and out of the shelter. In the long run, we hope it helps them find their forever home.
To get put on the list of places that would do a Pet Pop Up or for more details please email – tlbwilliams94@gmail.com or call/text 660-351-2834.
