Alerts & apps

There are many options to stay connected and informed of community events, emergencies, and other happenings that may disrupt routines or create hazardous conditions.

While the media plays an important role in delivering information to the community, it is also important for citizens to stay connected to the source(s) of information for accurate, up-to-date information on issues that may impact you, your family, and our community.
