As part of Emergency Preparedness week, the City of London launched its new emergency notification system, called Alert London.
“Folks can come out and register, and we will explain the system in a lot more detail and provide direct information on what would happen when you register to the program,” said O’Brien.
The system is a communication tool which will be used to provide emergency information to residents during an emergency using the delivery method of their choice.
