Presque Isle County MI utilizes mobile application for severe weather alerting

Presque Isle County, Michigan faced dangerous winter storm conditions on February 29, 2016, with heavy snow and whiteout driving hazards. The County’s Office of Emergency Management needed a way to quickly notify residents to stay off the roads and seek help for emergencies, and used OnSolve’s CodeRED mass notification solution and the OnSolve Launcher mobile app to send those urgent alerts.

Using the OnSolve Launcher, the Sheriff’s Office issued an initial warning to remain off the roads and call 911 for emergencies, then sent a follow-up message hours later when roads were reopened with cautionary advice. The timely CodeRED notifications from OnSolve prompted numerous calls from residents thanking the office and asking about the system, demonstrating rapid public reach and positive community response.
