As you read yesterday, the Town has teamed up with Voyent Alert! to create an alert notification system. Voyent Alert! is a system that allows Town staff to send out important information in a timely manner to citizens by text message, e-mail, or recorded message (or all of the above.) Check out the video below to learn more about Voyent Alert!
Registration is very easy – just visit Voyent’s website and register today, or download the Voyent app on your smartphone through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
When you install the app or register online, you’ll be asked to enter your location. This can be your home or work address. Identifying your location allows us to tailor notifications that are pertinent to your location. You are not required to provide your name to get Voyent alerts, and you are not required to be a Town resident to subscribe to alerts.
In the event of an emergency, you will receive an alert by the method you selected. This alert will identify the problem with brief instructions. Depending on the nature of the alert, you may receive a follow-up alert with additional information, instructions, or just to let you know the event has ended. Again, our goal is to get you important information in a timely manner.
If you do not have a smartphone or Internet access, we can add you to the Voyent Alert! system. Just call B-Connected during working hours to signup for Voyent Alert! updates by cell phone or land line.
