WATSEKA, Ill. (WCIA) — The Iroquois County EMA has teamed up with a partner to offer the community an enhanced way to receive information during emergencies.

The collaboration involves Regroup Mass Notification System, introducing a new mass notification platform aimed at better equipping Iroquois County residents for emergency situations. Consequently, Iroquois County EMA is phasing out its HyperReach system.

This cutting-edge platform is engineered to provide critical updates via text messages, emails, or phone calls swiftly. It will supply real-time alerts on various matters, from severe weather to emergency events, keeping Iroquois County residents informed and safe.

This alert system is powered by Regroup’s notification platform. Iroquois County EMA is encouraging the whole community to sign up for the new platform.

To sign up, you can text “icema” to 31002, download the Regroup mobile app and enter ICALERTS for registry code, or scan the QR code Iroquois County EMA posted on its Facebook page. For more information on the system, email ema@co.iroquois.il.us.
