Winnebago County Residents Can Sign Up to Have 
Emergency Notifications Sent to their Cell Phones 

	(OSHKOSH, WI)  Winnebago County residents can now receive emergency
notifications when they register their cell phone numbers with a new
service offered by the Sheriff’s and Emergency Management Offices of
Winnebago County.

	Residents who register their cell phone numbers with MyStateUSA, an
emergency phone notification system, can be notified about community
disasters or neighborhood emergencies such as evacuation or
shelter-in-place orders, or a chemical spill that could affect them.

	“If there’s an emergency happening that could impact you or your
family, this is another communications tool that will give you
instructions on what you need to do to stay safe,” said Linda
Kollmann, Director of the Winnebago County Office of Emergency
Management.  “I encourage citizens to take two minutes to register
their cell phone numbers and also encourage them to tell their
neighbors, friends and family to do the same.”

County residents with landlines already are able to receive voice
notifications.  The new service will benefit all residents – even
those who have only cell phones – if they register with MyStateUSA. 

	“In Public Safety we realize the importance of communication and
having a system like this is another avenue of communicating with the
public when information could be life-saving” said Winnebago County
Sheriff Mike Brooks.

	Participation is free, although cellular telephone providers may
charge fees for receiving voice or text messages.  This system is
designed for Winnebago County residents only.

	To register a cell phone, visit Winnebago County’s web site,
www.co.winnebago.wi.us , look for the link and follow the prompts. 
Residents who do not have access to a computer at home, school or work
can use one at a public library or call 920-236-7459 to leave a
message for a volunteer to call you back and assistant you.
