CVRD Emergency Notification System

January 19, 2017 / Gord Schreiner

Want to be notified by voicemail or text message emergency alerts like a boil water being lifted or put into place? The CVRD is implementing a new emergency notifications service to keep residents and businesses informed in a timely manner.

The service will issue prompt emergency notifications by landline or mobile device through a text or voice message. Initially, the notifications will focus on boil water notices but will later be expanded to include other types of emergency messages.

Head over to the CVRD website (http://www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/EN/main/departments/emergency-services/get-notified-emergency-notification-system.html) or call 250-334-6057 to register!
