Know where to find information during an emergency
|
|
Fast, accurate and instructional information is
important in an emergency, and knowing in advance where to turn
for that information is a key step in being prepared.
The city of Aurora sends out emergency alerts via
the Everbridge notification system, but it's important to note
that this is an opt-in service for cellphones, so you will not
automatically receive emergency notifications from the city
unless you sign up: AuroraGov.org/AlertAurora.
You can choose to receive emergency notifications via text
message, email or phone call based on the address(es) you provide
in the city. Please note these are not weather-related messages.
The city recommends you have a NOAA weather radio or weather app
on your phone for such instances.
When an emergency occurs, find the most up-to-date
information via the city's social media channels: Aurora Police
and Aurora Fire Rescue will post initially on Twitter (@AuroraPD
and @AuroraFireDpt)
and also provide more detailed information on Facebook (FB.com/AuroraCOPD
and FB.com/AuroraFireDpt).
Also be sure to follow the city's main social media pages at @AuroraGov
on Twitter and at FB.com/AuroraGov.
