City message: protect against West Nile and sign up for Alert GP
Summary
A public-service announcement urged residents to use DEET and drain standing water to reduce West Nile risk and to register for the city's Alert GP emergency-notification system at gptx.org/alertgp.
A city announcement on the program urged listeners to "Protect yourself against the West Nile virus," and recommended using insect repellent with DEET, wearing long sleeves and pants, and draining standing water. The announcement directed listeners to gptx.org/fightthebutton for more information and to gptx.org/alertgp to sign up for Alert GP — the city's high-speed emergency notification service.
The message said Alert GP can send notifications citywide or to specific areas and asked residents to sign up online so the emergency management team can reach them during critical incidents.
