From the Des Moines Register:
A northeast Iowa county has begun implementing technology that will make its 911 call center the first in the nation to accept text messages, officials said Tuesday.
The service is currently in test mode, but Black Hawk County officials say their plan is to go live with the service as early as July.
The technology is designed to allow people with speech and hearing impediments to text 911, and for the emergency operator to communicate back by texting.
