Then maybe it is time you signed up.

I have it on my phone and thankfully it doesn't send a ton of "kinda emergencies" because this App will only send you information about a real community emergency.

You'll get notifications if there is really bad weather like a tornado warning, you might also get a notification if a prisoner has escaped the correctional facility downtown.

Other examples of notifications might include evacuation notices, bio-terrorism alerts, boil water notices, and missing child reports

Really anything that our city leaders and emergency management might feel that the general public needs to know for safety reasons.
