Rumford launches "Rumford Connect" notification platform, supported by ND Paper donation
Summary
Police Chief Milligan and Town Manager George O'Keefe announced the public launch of "Rumford Connect," a free notification app for Apple and Samsung devices intended to deliver emergency and major town announcements; ND Paper donated funds to support the rollout.
Police Chief Milligan announced a public launch of a new town notification platform called "Rumford Connect" during the April 3 meeting of the Rumford Board of Select Persons. The platform is described in the minutes as a free app for Apple and Samsung devices that will send alerts about major announcements such as structure fires or active-shooter situations directly to users' phones and will also post to the town Facebook page.
Town Manager George O'Keefe thanked ND Paper for a donation that helped the town "get this platform off the ground," saying the company "recognize[s] the importance of having this notification feature" for public service and public safety. The board recorded the announcement in its minutes; the platform launch is effective as of the meeting date and the town listed it under its public-safety communications tools.
