The Springtown City Council discussed concerns Thursday, July 23 about whether residents could unintentionally stop receiving severe weather warnings when opting out of other messages from the city’s Blackboard Connect/Connect-CTY system.

Place 3 council member David Martin brought the item before the council to clarify what happens when residents unsubscribe from city outreach messages.

Martin said the Blackboard emergency alert system was effective during the April tornado and provided residents with advance warning.
