This initiative strengthens the City's commitment to transparency, public safety and community resilience, fostering a culture of readiness and preparedness.
"We're happy to introduce a new, improved system for the City," Director of Emergency Management and Communications Sonny Saxton said. "This new system will also benefit the City internally, alerting employees when information needs to be shared citywide. We want to foster community engagement and connection, year-round, beyond emergent notifications. We want to continually find new ways to engage with residents, promoting preparedness and resiliency."
