EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS NEW EMERGENCY SIRENS FOR LOUISVILLE T his year Louisville installed three new emergency notification sirens; on the north side of Annette Brand Park, at Highway 42 and Pine Street, and on Dil- lon Road at the Coal Creek Golf Course. These sirens are linked to the sirens in Lafayette, Superior, Erie, and unincorporated Boulder County through the Boulder County Sheriff's Department dispatch center. They are activated by the Communications Center when an emer- gency warrants immediate mass notification. The most likely events for the sirens are tornadoes or hazardous materials accidents. The sirens are tested the first Mon- day of each month, from April through August, at 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The tests consist of a short siren activation followed by a short voice message announcing it is a test. Bo ULDER CO UNTYALERT SYSTEM Residents within Boulder County who wish to receive alerts on their cell phones, by text messaging, and additional phones may sign up to be notified about imminent threats to health and safety. You may request alerts at multiple addresses, for example, residences and businesses, by completing information for each loca- tion. If your information changes, you are responsible for updating your profile on the web site. Community members who choose not to add additional lines or cell phone information will continue to receive notifications on their home landlines. The notification system is a product of Everbridge and is funded through the 9 -1 -1 surcharge that phone service customers already pay as a part of their bills. The service is expected to cost about $216,000 per year. There is no additional charge for Boulder County resi- dents. To register, please visit www.bouldercounty.org/sheriff and click on the "Mass Notification System" icon. This service is for residents of unincorporated Boulder Coun- ty as well as any municipality in the county other than the City of Boulder or the City of Longmont.
