Ponca City Offering Weather Notification System for Area Residents
Ponca City Now - April 27, 2023 6:30 am
Ponca City now has a new notification system that will provide information about incoming severe weather and other events you might be glad to know. The Ponca City Notification System went online last Wednesday, and already almost 1000 have registered for the service. This system will provide warnings of severe thunderstorms & tornadoes for our area almost the moment they are issued by the National Weather Service. In addition, a list of other important weather events is provided for you to select. And it’s not just about weather. We will soon be able to let you know of unplanned road closings and about how long it will take to fix your power outage.
If you have family members with vision or hearing disabilities, the message can be printed or read aloud to meet their needs.
You can check it out online at www.poncacityok.gov/pcnotification-registration.
Registration is open & takes just a few minutes.
