Council launches MapAlerter service for Donegal

A new free Donegal County Council MapAlerter service has been launched for households and businesses in the county.
Alerts will include weather alerts from Met Eireann, gritting alerts, information on road closures and weekly planning lists.
Donegal County Council’s MapAlerter service will enable alerts to be sent directly by SMS text message, email, smartphone app notification or Facebook Messenger to individuals and businesses who have signed up for the service.
The alerts are location based, so only registered users in the vicinity of the alert or who pass through the alert location on a commuting route, will be notified.
Additionally all alerts are mapped and visible to everybody through the Mapalerter.com website.
The Council says, initially alerts will focus on the Councils gritting programme, Met Eireann Weather Alerts and the Weekly Planning Lists but this service will develop to include other important messages and warnings.
To sign up for the service you can visit www.mapalerter.com/register or download the MapAlerter app or sign up via Facebook Messenger.
