The Atlantic County Office of Emergency Preparedness announced a new emergency notification system to alert residents and property owners at a moment’s notice of a “countywide emergency or life-threatening disaster.”
John Garry, a network administrator for
the office, said residents can customize which alerts they receive, and
how they receive them, on their app, AlertMe, or online at readyatlantic.org. They can choose between texts, emails and calls.
"That
will give the resident actually more control over how they want to
receive (alerts)," Garry said. "They can customize their alerts
depending on what they want."
The County contracted CivicPlus for their notification system, CivicReady; previously, the County worked with CodeRed to send out alerts.

In
a press release Monday, the county urged Atlantic County property
owners that live outside the county to register for alerts in case of
flooding or other emergencies that could threaten their property.
“The
emergency notification system is an invaluable resource for both
residents and property owners,” said County Executive Dennis Levinson in
a statement. “Time is extremely critical in an emergency and this
countywide system enhances our efforts to protect lives and properties.”
