Notifications of Weather and other Emergencies

As you all know by now we recently went through an emergency water boil notice for the City of Austin and some surrounding communities.  This was issued on a weekend when we were not in the office and could not send a notification to anyone.  We wanted to provide a link to everyone which allows you to sign up for the Austin emergency notification system - warncentraltexas.org - that will alert you to situations like this.
