The City of Adel is trying to make communication easier with residents as a new feature is apart of the city’s website.
According to City Clerk Carrie Erickson, the city redesigned the website interface in the second half of January, which includes a new way for users to stay in tune with the latest happenings. She describes that there is an option towards the bottom of the page that people can subscribe to in order to receive notifications regarding road closures, weather reports, and more. Erickson tells Raccoon Valley Radio the reason behind adding this feature.
“It was just something that was offered to us with our new website host and we thought it would be a good thing to do occasionally, not very often, but just to send out notifications if necessary.”
Erickson says there is a “Sign Up Now” button and from there, people can put in either their email or phone number to be updated by the city year round. She notes she’s heard from several residents about how they appreciate the service and that the information shared is timely. To find out more about registering, click here.
