The Allen County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has announced a new way to send residents emergency alerts.
Allen County residents will now be able to get alerts via text, emails and phone calls, notifying them of things like severe weather, chemical spills and bad traffic accidents. By simply going online to http://allen-ema.com/, you can register to get these alerts.
The Director of the Office of Homeland Security and EMA, Tom Berger, says the program is a way to make sure the most efficient technology is available to keep the public safe. "This is another avenue for us to reach our community. It gives us a quick, efficient, technologically based way to reach each one of our residents."
For those who aren't tech-savvy you can call 419-993-1404 to receive registration assistance.
