City of Kalamazoo adopts mass notification tool to keep residents informed

The city of Kalamazoo is encouraging residents to sign up for its new mass notification tool it says will help keep everyone safe and informed.

The Rave Mobility Safety system allows the city to provide critical information quickly through multiple avenues, including social media, automated telephone calls, emails and text messages, according to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.
