The City of Saskatoon is calling this morning’s (Wed) emergency test message a success.
Around 10 this morning, those in the phone book and those that have registered for texts or emails would have received the message.
The Director of Emergency Planning, Pamela Goulden-McLeod, says if something like the power outage that affected around 200-thousand people on Tuesday had happened in Saskatoon, the notifynow messages would have been sent directly to residents throughout the day to update them and share information.
Just over 24-thousand residents have customized their notifynow profiles, but Goulden-McLeod would like to see more people doing so.
She cautions that notifynow can’t reach you and your family if you have incomplete or out-of-date contact information in their system.
Go to the City’s website to indicate how you would like to receive your notifications or call 306-975-3210 for more information.
