Caldwell County has partnered with CivicPlus® to implement a new alert system that can issue urgent notifications, emergency instructions, warnings, and routine communications to subscribed residents via email, text message, and voicemail.

Emergency Managment Division Chief Vic Misenheimer says “Our new system gives us the flexibility to get the right message to the right people at the right time. When resident subscribe, they can choose which messages they wish to receive and how they want to receive those messages.”

In a local emergency, community members subscribed to the CivicPlus system will benefit from immediate, actionable information and instructions sent via their preferred notification channel.

Cari Tate, the CivicPlus Solutions Director says “CivicPlus is built on designing innovative solutions for local governments. We continually invest in our products, such as our Mass Notification software, to strengthen and transform how governments serve and communicate with their residents. We are proud to partner with Caldwell County to help them accomplish their public safety goals.”
