The City of Poughkeepsie has a great way for residents to receive emergency notifications and encourages people to sign up for them.
Through the Hyper-Reach Broadcast system, residents can select whether they want to receive notifications via email, text message or telephone call, or a combination of these options.
The system can be used in an array of circumstances, from locating missing children to evacuating a neighborhood in the event of an emergency. You can also choose automatic weather alerts for the City of Poughkeepsie. You can enter your home, business and/or church address, or an address of a family member who lives in the City of Poughkeepsie.
Anyone who would like to receive community alerts may register for Hyper-Reach notifications here or call 845-205-0596. The service is available in English and Spanish.
Emergency messages will be coordinated with the assistance of the City of Poughkeepsie E-911 Center and the City of Poughkeepsie Police Public Information Office.
The system can also be used to send out non-emergency community messages, such as known road closures and community activities, to anyone who has signed up to receive alerts.
