City of Plymouth issued the following announcement on Sept. 24.
The City of Plymouth will conduct a citywide test of the Alert Plymouth system at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6.
Alert Plymouth, the City of Plymouth’s emergency notification system, is able to call, text or email residents – and allows the city to inform the public of community-wide and localized emergencies.
The citywide test, normally held in August during Night to Unite, was rescheduled to Oct. 6 due to COVID-19. Night to Unite was subsequently canceled due to continuing COVID-19 concerns.
Plymouth Public Safety Department encourages everyone who lives and works in Plymouth to sign up with their cell phone numbers at plymouthmn.gov/alertplymouth.
Residents Encouraged to Update Contact Information
Those who previously signed up should check to make sure their contact information is current.
Launched by the City of Plymouth in 2015, all landline phone numbers listed in the White and Yellow Pages were added to the Alert Plymouth system – but the city did not have a database of cell phone numbers or email addresses.
Subscribers are asked to include their address, as it enables the system to geographically notify them of emergencies near their home or business.
