Cell phones can assist in an emergency

The recent Fire in Herriman Utah was a good example of how a cell phone can help or hinder in an emergency. In todays society many have discontinued having a "landline" into their homes. Instead many families are opting to have cell phones instead of the traditional line.  While this is a great convenience, it can also be detrimental in certain situations such as when a reverse 911 system is put into action. To help address this problem VECC (Valley Emergency Communications Center) has created a way to register your mobile device so that in an emergency the notification will go to your phone or email. To register your phone follow this link.

No one wants to find out too late that there is an evacuation or a situation that involves an entire community. Be prepared.


Thanks Fire Marshal Bob
