If you live in Marion County and are signed up for the County’s emergency notification system, you’ll need to sign up for it again.  Marion County public information officer Emily Feagins tells us the County has upgraded its notification system.

“Even if you were previously signed up in our old emergency alert system,  you will still need to go on and re-submit and sign up for this alert. You can follow us on Facebook.  I have it pinned to the top of our page.  There’s a link that you can sign up to.  Or you can text MarionIA to 672-83.”

Feagins says she can help you upgrade or sign up for emergency notification for the first time Wednesday (3/23) from 2-4pm at the HyVee in Pella…and Friday (3/25) from 2-4pm at the HyVee in Knoxville.  The target date to transition to the upgraded system is July 1.
