[ACT] County Mass Notification System (a.k.a Reverse 911) Test?

[Gaboon]

*Please cross post.

Dear Neighbors & Trail Users,

Allegedly there was a test of the County's new (prototype) Mass  
Notification System (a.k.a. "Reverse 911" call system) in the last  
two weeks or so. Residential phones in our area (the Meadows, La Vina  
& Chaney Trail) were called by an automated system with a recorded  
message about this new capability. A website was provided for further  
information. In the future, we will be able to receive urgent  
notifications from the County (for example, to prepare for wildfire  
evacuation or to take other emergency action) via our home phones. We  
will be able to add our work numbers and cell phones to the system.

As a data point, did any of you receive the test call? If so, do you  
have the website about the new MNS system? Were you told by anyone in  
advance that you would be receiving a test call?

Thanks,
Lori
in the Chaney Trail Neighborhood
