EMA launched the new MBCAlert App, designed to provide disaster and emergency information for everyone in Macon-Bibb, whether you live here or are just visiting

Macon, GA – According to the officials, these notifications will complement the existing phone calls, texts, and emails already used to keep you informed.

The app allows you to check the weather, monitor river and lake levels, and prepare for disasters and hazards.

It also lets you notify friends or family when you go out alone or want someone to know your location for safety reasons.

Like the MBCAlert notification system, the app will send push notifications for any weather or emergency alerts.

You can download the free MBCAlert App on any smartphone or tablet by visiting the app store.
