City unveils new mass notification system for emergency and non‑emergency alerts
Summary
City staff introduced a new mass notification system to send free emergency and non‑emergency alerts — including major earthquake notices and job announcements — the mayor said during a meeting recap.
City staff presented a new mass notification system intended to keep residents updated on emergency and non‑emergency situations, the mayor said Tuesday.
The mayor said the system will send alerts for events such as major earthquakes and job announcements. The service is free and residents can sign up on the city website, according to the mayor’s recap. The transcript referred to a “mask notification system,” which appears to be a transcription error; the correct term is mass notification system.
The mayor introduced the system as part of a wider set of announcements in the meeting recap; no rollout schedule, coverage map, enrollment numbers or vendor information was provided in the remarks.
