If you're new to the blog, take a minute to look around, get acquainted with us, check out some of the older posts. Perhaps register your cellphone with the Emergency Community Notification System (ECNS) to receive emergency alerts--move your eyes to the right (you may have to scroll up a ways) to the ALERT Cowlitz County icon. See it? Our ECNS is capable of calling landlines in Cowlitz County, but you have to manually register your cellphone to receive alerts such as the ones received tonight by people in West Longview. If you only have a cellphone, you could be missing important emergency information if your cell phone is not registered.
You could also sign up to receive emergency information by text. All you have to do is text: Follow CowlitzDEM to the number 40404 and you will get anything sent out by our emergency info Twitter account.
If you have a Twitter account, you can follow us @CowlitzDEM and @CowlitzDEMChat. The first account is for emergency information, the second is more informal and is where we send out information on preparedness, events and other non-emergency info.
