Alert and Warning systems are a tool to allow first responders meet their primary response priority – Life Safety! If the public is alerted early, it substantially increases their chances of survival by allowing them to evacuate or shelter in place quickly. No one alerting system is 100% effective and many factors can influence an alert’s success rate. Take a moment to find the best way to be alerted and make sure you are set up to receive alerts.
