Emergency alerts are mandatory,
and may include:

Create separate accounts for each member of your
household so everyone can be notified in an emergency.
Several locations within the County of Newell boundarycan be chosen to receive notifications from;
for example, a family member's farm or a section of your child's school, etc...
Having multiple sources of information can keep you
aware of the conditions in your region. For example
you can download weather apps to keep up to date
with current weather conditions.
As well we encourage you to download the “Alberta
Emergency Alert” app provided by the Government of
Alberta. This app will provide information and the
actions to take when a disaster occurs.
