The R.M. Of Dauphin is now active with a local emergency alerting system.
Residents were asked to register for the service on April 20.
Accounts can be managed online and alerts can be received by a phone call, text, or email to a device of one’s choosing.
Notices such as burning bans, local flooding, road closures, and water breaks will be relayed.
The system is All-Net Connect, and it works with the federal government’s website, Environment Canada and RCMP to receive national emergency alerts, Amber Alerts and weather warnings.
To sign up contact the municipal office at 638-4531 or go online to rmofdauphin.ca.
