City PSA: Protect against mosquitoes, sign up for Grand Prairie emergency alerts
Summary
A public-service announcement on the program urged residents to use DEET, wear long sleeves and drain standing water to guard against West Nile virus, and to sign up for Alert GP at gptx.org/alertgp for emergency notifications.
A public-service segment on the program advised residents to protect themselves against mosquitoes and West Nile virus and promoted the city’s Alert GP notification service.
"Protect yourself against the West Nile virus. Use insect spray with DEET. Wear long sleeves and pants. Drain anything with standing water," an announcer said. The PSA directed listeners to gptx.org/fightthebite and to sign up for Alert GP at gptx.org/alertgp to receive emergency notifications from the Grand Prairie Emergency Management Team.
The PSA said Alert GP can target the entire city or specific areas and recommended that residents sign up so the city can reach them with critical community alerts.
