EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – The City of El Centro launches a new system to keep the community informed about a variety of topics happening with the city.

The mass notification system started last March as a new way to communicate between the city and the residents.

“It’s another tool to communicate with our residents. They can sign up for text email or voice calls to receive notification about emergency events such as major earthquakes, flooding, major weather or something non-emergency like traffic reports,” explained Mario Renteria, City of El Centro public information officer.

You may sign-in using the City of El Centro official website and choose the way you would like to notified, whether by text message, email or voice call.

“We are always looking for ways to communicate with the public for very various things. We use local media also social media and this gives us another tool to reach those residents who may not always watch traditional media or social media,” said Renteria.
