The Facts -
January, 30, 2007 |
Residents
could get police, news and emergency information alerts
via e-mail, text messages and pagers if Clute officials
move forward with a notification system being
considered...“During the Rita evacuation, the city could
have used it,” David Read said. “The only way to
communicate with residents during times like that is
through your Web site and e-mail.”
“It looks like a good service,” said Councilman David
Culpepper. “It sounds extremely easy.”
“It seems like the city could benefit from a system like
this,” Councilman Travis Quinn said. |

Thanks to an alert system Brazoria County is now
employing, there’s no need to have somebody ride through
the countryside. There’s not even a need to tune in to
emergency broadcasts on television or radio. Residents
can get up-to-the-minute information on storms,
emergency road closures or even disease outbreaks sent
to their e-mail address, cell phone or pager. |
