The City of Peterborough is recommending residents subscribe to Alertable, a free community notification system.
“Peterborough has faced several significant emergencies recently. The ice storm this past March, also the windstorm in May of 2022, had major impacts across the city,” says Stephanie Sisson, Emergency and Risk Management Advisor for the City of Peterborough.
“During those events, widespread power outages made telecommunications unreliable and it really highlighted for us the need for better ways to share emergency information quickly.”
Sisson believes Alertable addresses this need in an accessible way.
Residents can sign up for free on the website or download the mobile app. Listen to the full interview with Sisson to learn about this new emergency response system.
