If you want to get the latest information on COVID-19, there’s an app for that.
The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) is encouraging residents to sign up for the SaskAlert App. It will provide accurate and timely information about COVID-19.
“With the risk of COVID-19 within the province, we are encouraging everyone to download the SaskAlert App,” SPSA president Marlo Pritchard said in a press release. “The app will provide urgent, critical information about how individuals and families can protect themselves.”
The app allows users to set up emergency alerts for the entire province, a particular municipality, or a First Nation community. The app can even target residents in a given area if urgent information is specific to one region or municipality within the province.
How will this information get to you? A tone will sound in case of an emergency. It will sound similar to receiving a text message.
The app is available for download on Android and Apple devices at http://emergencyalert.saskatchewan.ca/.
