We're thrilled that no one was hurt during the storms on Friday evening and we've all accepted that weather happens fast around here, especially this time of year.
We'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about our FREE emergency notification system. On Friday evening, our WENS system notified users of a tornado warning, almost a full minute before the sirens went off. The system is automated and it is designed to notify you of these types of events immediately and directly to your phone.
Outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert residents who are outdoors and it's common for people not to hear those sirens when they're inside their homes. Utilizing our notification system ensures you get the fastest alerts possible, delivered right to your cell phone.
The system is completely free to use and you can select which alerts you want to be notified of. You do not have to be a Ponca City Resident to utilize this system.
To sign up for free notifications, simply scan the QR code in the image, go to https://entry.inspironlogistics.com/ponca_city/wens.cfm or text HELP to 69310.
