In case you aren’t familiar with it, I wanted to share a great community resource, Nixle. As stated on their website, “it immediately connects you to trusted, important, time-sensitive information via text message, e-mail, and web. Get neighborhood-level public safety and health alerts and other relevant community information.”
You can have notifications sent to an email address or directly to your phone and you can choose locations where you live and work. I really appreciate getting notices like this one:
