My CNN community notification network

Your family can sign up to receive official alerts through “My Community Notification Network”, also known as “MyCNN”.

MyCNN subscribers receive notifications about incidents that affect their home, workplace, school and more. MyCNN can notify subscribers by telephone, cellphone, text and email (or all of these methods). If you are not a subscriber, but have a publicly listed telephone number, you may receive a telephone message, but public directories are not always complete or up-to-date, so you could be missed. To ensure your best chance of being notified during an emergency, subscribe to MyCNN and chose how you want to be notified.

To learn more about MyCNN, and how you can subscribe to receive notifications, please visit the MyCNN.

Shelter-in-place

Sheltering is appropriate when conditions require that you seek protection in your home, place of employment or other location when there is a threat to personal safety (i.e. hazardous spills, dangers predators).

Emergencies that require a shelter-in-place include:

  • A hazardous substance in the air
  • A tornado
  • A severe winter storm
  • An earthquake
  • Event that could harm the public

If the emergency is related to an environmental hazard:

  • Close all windows and doors
  • Tape around windows, air ducts, and vents
  • Turn off fans, heating and air conditioning systems
  • Close the fireplace damper
  • Move to an interior room above ground level

In all other cases:

  • Listen to the radio for updates and do not go outside until authorities say it is safe to do so

The length of time you are required to shelter may be short, such as during a tornado warning, or long, such as during a winter storm. It is important that you stay in shelter until local authorities say it is safe to leave.
