The City of Yellowknife is unveiling its new emergency email notification system, which allows residents to sign up to receive immediate updates to their inboxes during an emergency situation.  This system will send residents an email with emergency updates when they occur, and will provide information on where people can go to get more details.

Residents are encouraged to join to stay up-to-date on City of Yellowknife critical public safety updates.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the same as the Emergency Alert Notification System the Government of the Northwest Territories operates which sends a notification right to your cellular device, nor is it meant to replace these notifications. This is an email list, so notifications will not go directly to your cell phone, but rather will land in your email inbox.

Stop by the City of Yellowknife’s booth at the Trade Show this weekend to sign up and learn more! Those who sign up with our staff at the Trade show can be entered to win some items for their own emergency kit.
