Arriving Somewhere

Today I discovered a service that everyone who lives in the DC area should know about. Roam Secure is a company that provides a means for local emergency alerts to be distributed to subscribers via text messages and email. This is a way to receive real-time information concerning emergencies, weather, transportation, utilities and such. I signed up to received notices about the neighborhood where I work in DC and for College Park, MD since that haven’t activated coverage of the neighborhood where I live yet.

Head over to http://www.roamsecure.net/ncr.php and select your city or county from the map to sign up to receive alerts.
