CROWN POINT | City residents who wish to receive alerts about the city through e-mail, text messaging or cell phones should register their information by going to www.crownpoint.in.gov.
The city recently implemented the Blackboard Connect Inc. system, which allows the city to reach its constituency quickly with time-sensitive information.
The Board of Works on Wednesday approved the city's rules, protocol and policy for the system, which allows for several layers of oversight, Fire Chief Greg DeLor said.
He said the system has been used twice so far, once to alert residents to a recent expected large snowfall and asking them to move their vehicles so the street department could plow streets.
"We've heard back from the street department that they were able to plow streets they haven't in years," DeLor said.
He said residents who did not receive an alert about the snow need to register their information. - By Times Staff
