Yellowknife has introduced a new emergency email notification system that allows residents to stay informed during emergencies. By signing up, residents will receive an email with immediate updates and information on where to get more details.
This system is not meant to replace the Emergency Alert Notification System run by the Government of the Northwest Territories, which sends notifications directly to your cellular device. It is an email list that sends notifications to your inbox.
You can visit Yellowknife’s booth at the Trade Show this weekend to sign up. Those who sign up with staff at the trade show will also be entered to win items for their emergency kit.
