Gallatin County, MT – On July 31st Gallatin County Emergency Management will be testing the Community Notification System for registered users in Northern Gallatin County.  Gallatin County has multiple approaches to disseminating emergency information, with community members registering in the Community Notification System providing us the highest accuracy and speed in targeting those directly affected by an incident.  This test is an opportunity for the community to verify they are receiving notifications like they expect.  As time goes on, people move and contact information changes which unfortunately sometimes leads to people not receiving important information they are expecting to receive.

The community is encouraged to log in and verify they have the correct contact information and locations they want to be alerted for.  For individuals who may not already be registered, this is a great opportunity to spend 5 minutes to register in the Community Notification System and ensure they receive critical information that applies directly to them.

More information on the Community Notification System and registration is available at Alerts.ReadyGallatin.com.
