Last week was Severe Weather Preparedness Week and it included Missouri s statewide tornado drill. The week, which highlighted how to stay safe during severe weather, also encourages people to have several ways to get information about severe weather. Johnnson County Emergency Management Agency said on Facebook they received some questions and comments about how people can receive emergency alerts related to Johnson County. So I thought it d be beneficial to pass on that information for both Johnson and Pettis Counties to you.
Johnson County uses a service called Rave which can send you alerts via email, text or voice. Johnson County uses these alerts to let residents know about things like road closures, gas leaks, missing persons and weather alerts. The system also lets users create a safety profile for their household that will let emergency personnel know any details about their household.
