Residents of Panama and Portsmouth are still without landline 9-1-1 service, after a fiber optic cable was cut late Tuesday night. The message went out to residents in the area at around 11-p.m.  Shelby County Emergency Management Coordinator Bob Seivert said as of 9:40-a.m. today, 9-1-1 service had not been fully restored.

If you have an emergency in Shelby County and dial 9-1-1 and you do not reach a 9-1-1 center, use your cellphone to dial 911 or call 712-755-2121. As conditions change, officials will update the status of the service.
