Soft start to P.A. emergency alert system
A new software system could help Prince Albert and area respond quicker if there is a wide-spread emergency.
The Prince Albert Fire Department (PAFD) purchased the software system last year through the Everbridge Company.
PAFD Fire Chief Jason Everitt said Everbridge is a global company, predominantly in North America.
“They have systems set up across the United States and Canada and its set up for mass notification of community members when an incident is unfolding that requires an instant message sent out to people for informational purposes, for directions, and things along those lines,” he said.
