Pitkin County Emergency 911 to Test New Alert System on 3/1/18

2/26/2018

 
Picture
The Pitkin County Emergency Communications Center will test it's new cellphone-based alert system on Thursday, March 1st at 3 p.m. Cellphone users between Aspen and Aspen Village will receive this test alert.

​It is similar to the Amber Alert system that local cell phone users may be familiar with. This alert system will only be used in instances where there is an immediate threat to life or property. Cell phone users do not have to sign up and register to receive these types of alerts. 

Pitkin Alert will continue to be useful for receiving less emergent alerts including traffic accident/delay alerts, local Mountain Rescue Aspen and Sheriff's Department press releases, and severe weather alerts.

There will always be a threat to our lives wherever or whenever. That is why our government or local government should take the security of the citizens seriously. I would like to commend the effort of the authorities of Pitkin County for issuing this new alert system that would alert the citizens through their mobile cell phones. This is a big step to achieve the welfare of the town by making it secure and keeping it updated if there will be a emergency. I hope more local governments follow this procedure.
