EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION

Post date: Aug 27, 2012 11:56:53 PM

At the JLDI meeting last Tuesday evening, Steve Thuernagle told us about the new, nationwide emergency alert system that will be broadcast on most cell phones manufactured after 2009.

This system will alert you to threatening weather, national emergencies and amber alerts in the area your phone is located. For example, if you live at Johnson Lake and you go on vacation to Colorado, your phone will receive alerts for the area of Colorado that you are in. This will ensure that you will always be alerted to threatening weather where ever you (and your phone) are.

Please go to this link to watch a 10 minute video about the program:

If you want to be alerted to threatening weather for this area regardless of where you are, you need to sign up for Code Red through the Dawson County Sheriff's office or you may click on this link to find the information to sign up online
