Huron County Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb to
discontinues Huron Ready host round table discussions on
notification program Canada's defence policy review
The Huron Ready community notifi-
cation program is ending effective
immediately and its phone and social
media services are being discontinued.
Huron Ready has been operating
since 2009. However, after conduct-
ing a program review, it has been
identified that this county service is
no longer relevant. With the rising
adoption of communication technol-
ogies, Huron Ready has become
redundant as source agencies
responsible for community notifica-
tions are now connecting to resi-
dents directly using tools like social
media.
Over the coming days, one final
phone call campaign will be com-
pleted to members of the public
registered with Huron Ready to
notify them that the service is end-
ing. This final call campaign is
expected to be completed by the
end of this month. A notice will be
posted to the Huron Ready Face -
book and Twitter accounts to notify
followers that the program is
ending.
To continue to receive community
notifications, residents are advised to
consult the following authoritative
sources:
• For road closures, follow the OPP @
OPP_COMM_WR
• For weather alerts, follow Environ-
ment Canada @ECAIertON160
(Goderich) or @ECAIertON110
