EMERGENCY ALERTS AT THE VAUX
EMERGENCY ALERTS AT THE VAUX
Your Emergency Preparedness Committee is pleased to announce that an emergency alerts notification system, approved by the Vaux COA Board in January, is now in place – set up, configured, and (subject to final Board approval) operationally ready to go live.
The alert system is provided by Regroup Mass Notification. It sends alerts (i.e. evacuate now, shelter-in-place, all-clear) by SMS/text, phone message, and/or email – like these:
sample SMS/text alert
EVACUATE the Vaux immediately. Assist neighbors if safe to do so. Do not use elevators. Proceed to corner of Thurman and 24th. Further instructions to follow.

When there's an emergency (fire, gas leak, air quality emergency, hostile intruder, infrastructure failure, earthquake,...) you can be among the first to know what's happening and what to do.
