ALERTS via cell-phone Text Messaging
The Village of Winthrop Harbor
provides timely information via cell phone text messaging
to TEXT-Alert subscribers.
TEXT-Alert messages
include Alerts about events and incidents which are deemed to
be time sensitive for Village residents. These may include road
closures, water boil orders, emergency safety messages, etcetera.
TEXT-Alerts will
never contain advertisements of any kind, or messages
regarding village recreational events. If you would like to receive
advance notice of upcoming major recreational events (parades,
holiday celebrations, etc.) please sign up for our free E-Alert service,
to receive messages via E-mail.
The Village of Winthrop Harbor
does not charge for the TEXT-Alert
service, however many
cell phone carriers charge a fee for each text message received.
Please check with your cell phone carrier to determine whether
or not you will be charged for receiving text messages. You
may unsubscribe at any time. The Village does not sell, give
or otherwise distribute names or cell phone numbers to any third
parties other than the actual provider of the text messaging
service*.
Please note that these are out-going
text messages only. You can not reply to a message sent through
this system. As always, in the event of an emergency please dial
911.
