A new emergency alert system aims to keep local residents in the loop on important information in the community.

CKAlert will allow residents to receive important public safety messages in the event of a major emergency, including flooding, boil water advisories, major road closures, and more.

Municipal officials say the alerts can be delivered by text, phone, or email, and ensure residents are getting accurate information directly from a trusted source.

The alert program is open to anyone over the age of 13, although those under 18 must get permission from a parent or guardian to sign up.
