Nashville Flooding and Tennessee 511

As most of America knows by now, the South was pounded by strong storms over the weekend causing a swath of tornadoes and flooding across the state of Tennessee.  A record amount of rainfall created flash floods that have claimed lives, washed out portions of roads and left Nashville under several feet of water in some areas.  As Music City and it's people wait for the waters to recede so that rebuilding and recovery can begin, everyone at the Universal Digital family would like to remind residents, and anyone travelling to state, to consult the Department of Transportation's Tennessee 511 system.  To access the Interactive Voice Response system recorded at the Universal Digital Production studios on Music Row, simply dial 511 on any cell or landline telephone.  The system provides travellers with specific information about road conditions and closures throughout the state.  In times of disaster, information is key to a quick and safe recovery and IVR is a powerful tool to disseminate such information.
