Emergency texts and e-mail alerts
Looks like Pomona City Hall is jumping on the technological band wagon....
Pomona - Officials will test a new city-to-resident notification system today.
The system will allow the city to notify residents immediately about such emergencies as missing children, natural disasters and ongoing police operations, said Pomona city spokeswoman Monique Valadez. Non-emergency messages may include notification of street closures and upcoming City Council meetings.
The messages will be sent to every phone or e-mail that is listed, Valadez said.
