Sask Emergency Alerts: Get the app as wildfire risk continues
With the extreme wildfire risk and potential for more evacuations the province is recommending the public download the mobile app from Saskatchewan Emergency Alerts.
paNOW heard of several instances where people received notice of the original evacuation order for Crutwell late Monday afternoon but some got it at different times.
The public is being reminded not to confuse the provincial alert system with the national alerts being tested at the moment.
“With Saskatchewan emergency alerts it’s important to have that app downloaded on your phone,” Jay Teneycke with Government Relations said during a conference call Tuesday. “When it comes to the national alert service the public should check with their service providers who can give direction on that.”
