Council have teamed up with the Early Warning Network (EWN) to provide residents of the Somerset region access to an alerting system for severe weather and bushfires. It uses publicly available information to provide subscribers with alerts relevant to a chosen location.
Alerts will come predominately by email and sms. The same alerts will be posted to our Facebook and Twitter accounts simultaneously. Alerts to landlines at this stage will only be sent during extreme weather events.
Residents are encouraged to join and in doing so become better prepared. Optional Dam Release Notifications issued by Seqwater may also be selected.
