Considering the recent earthquake and the coming hurricane, I've been reading lots of news articles about emergency preparedness. I came across this website:
Washington DC Region City and County Emergency Alert Locations - CAPITALERT which links to pages to sign up for the emergency alert notification systems of different D.C.-area communities/counties.
It looks like you can sign up for text and/or email alerts for major emergencies (terrorism or natural disasters), severe weather, traffic updates, school or government closings, and Amber alerts.
Do we have any similar systems in place for the eastern panhandle, individual counties, or maybe even the Shenandoah Valley?
I tried to do an internet search but haven't been able to find anything.
If such a system doesn't exist for our area, who can we contact to suggest the creation of such a system?
