Note
The person is the object, not the news: an agency notifies residents, and in the passive the residents are the ones notified, with of introducing the event. The older use, with the thing itself as object, meant making it known or noting it down, and is now obsolete. So keep the person in that slot. The spelling follows the rule for a final y after a consonant: notify becomes notified.
