Emergency Communications Team update
Winneshiek County asks all residents and visitors to register with the Wireless Emergency Notification System which allows the county to quickly notify residents, neighborhoods or groups of people of dangerous situations including weather warnings.
A considerable portion of Winneshiek County residents only use cell phones as their primary source of communication; WENS gives the county the ability to notify all residents within moments of an emergency situation via cell phone. The system, which is internet-based, also can notify people by landline and email.
To subscribe, residents should go to http://tinyurl.com/wcalert
Residents can choose to be notified via text, voicemail and/or email, in the event of an emergency, such as evacuation or flooding. In addition, residents may request notification of a severe weather event impacting their location, road closures, power outages and traffic alerts.
The service is provided free of charge, however normal messaging fees may apply. Contact <julie> for more information.
