Willow Park CivicReady/Alert Sense System
Willow Park is using CivicReady system for citywide alerts such as severe weather, road closures, etc. You can create your profile and enter your current contact information here. To add your water route for water system repair alerts, look for the first three digits of your account number on your utility bill.
"The City of Willow Park is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.
“Sign up to receive emergency alerts and severe weather warnings that could directly impact you and your family. The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information.”
"The Fort Worth National Weather Service uses both NexRad and the new CASA radars to monitor the skies for hazards. While the NexRad radar is great for scanning weather conditions up to 200-miles away, the 25-mile range CASA radar scans the atmosphere below the NexRad scan, allowing meteorologist access to areas where undetected tornados and other severe weather hazards may form. CASA radar images are sharper and can provide a better image of what is happening at ground level, giving weathermen the opportunity to track storms to your neighborhood.
"As part of our emergency preparedness plan, Willow Park residents can receive the CASA weather radar images by downloading the free CASA Alerts app from the App Store or from the Google Play Store for Android. The app allows you to receive up-to-the-minute weather conditions, plus you can receive alerts for specific locations such as your home, school or business. Another benefit, you can chose the type of hazard alert you want to receive, such as a tornado warning but not heavy rain, and the distance away from your chosen locations, say within 10 miles, for the alerts.
"As with any local disaster, the more you know about what is happening around you the better prepared you will be. The better prepared you are, the better you will fare."
