The municipalities of Chesterfield, Newcombe, and Eatonia have launched a new communication system that will provide them with the ability to communicate with all residents/registrants on multiple platforms such as text, email, mobile phones, social media and landline phones. The new service called NECC (Newcombe, Eatonia, Chesterfield Connect) provides municipal staff with the ability to send out information to people on their chosen communication service.Connect uses Canadian technology “Connect–By All–Net”. The software is integrated with the Alert Ready system that was recently developed in partnership with the federal and provincial governments to send out automated emergency alert notifications to all registrants.

Ways to register:

  1.  Self–registration by using the following: https://cenc.allnetconnect.ca/Pubs/register.aspx
  2. Stop by one of the municipal offices to pick up a form.

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is encouraging people to download the SaskAlert App so that you can receive critical COVID-19 information in a timely manner.

See:  https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/emergency/saskalert

The app also allows people to choose how and when to hear the emergency alerts.

The more people that have the app, the more efficient they can be with targeting people in a specific area, including our jurisdiction, that might require emergency information.
