West Easton’s Emergency Text Alert System (ETAS) had a successful test this morning.
Scheduled days ago, to be sent out at 10:00 this morning, the system reported that 100 percent of the residents who opted-in to be notified of emergencies, received their text, or phone message.
Phone messages were delivered if a contact did not want to receive a text message, but preferred a call to their landline phone.
By all accounts the message was received simultaneously by all recipients within a minute of it being sent.
ETAS will be added to West Easton’s Emergency Management Operation (EMO).
The form for residents to be added to the EMO and ETAS are available at Borough Hall. It can also be downloaded HERE.
