Grambling’s City Council Pushes for CivicReady Sign Ups

During the most recent City Council meeting held of July 18, City Councilman John Brown gave an impassioned plea urging citizens to sign up for the city’s emergency notification system, CivicReady. It is a free service provided by the city that the Councilman stressed could potentially save lives.  He touted the recent flood that happened in Texas as an example.  “By now, everyone is aware that on July 4, residents in central Texas experienced a catastrophic flood event. (The most recent death toll is 135 with 3 still missing).

“We the governing body of the city of Grambling have an emergency communication system to warn residents of emergency situations such as tornadoes, hurricanes, catastrophic flooding, interruption of public services, road closures, etc. We put this in place because we care about you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors.”
