The ETCOG Executive Committee recently approved to fund a mass notification system for the East Texas region as a part of its public safety program for the twelth consecutive year. The system allows ETCOG to partner with cities and counties in East Texas to send messages quickly notifying citizens about emergency situations. 

Rave Mobile Safety offers unlimited minutes/texting, unlimited system users, and a new Weather Warning service that instantly and automatically alerts recipients based on weather in the area, including type of weather, location, and severity. It also allows emergency management coordinators to deploy messages in over 50 different language translations and integrates with social media platforms.

East Texas residents are encouraged to  Sign Up for Smart 911 with Rave Alert  notifications to receive texts, emails, and calls directly from their city or county emergency management staff. 

“We are very excited to renew our service with Rave Mobile Safety. The capacity to have unlimited minutes and unlimited users opens up the opportunity to partner with more jurisdictions in the region that may have not participated before. Also, we know many of our jurisdictions currently pay for weather warning services out of pocket, so we are happy to offer a cost saving opportunity with this vendor."
