Public Safety Director Joey Fowler asked the Tift County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 2 to appoint Wingate Whitley, the county’s E‑911 director, as a Deputy Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Director. Fowler said Whitley has more than 25 years of public safety service to Tift County and that, if approved, staff would sign and submit a notification letter to the Director of the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS).
