Gov. Asa Hutchinson has announced a new text alert system with the ability to provide timely COVID-19 alerts and other critical guidance directly from the Arkansas Division Emergency Management to Arkansas residents.
Arkansans can opt-in to the new system today by texting ‘COVID19ARK’ to 67283.
Residents who have opted in for alerts will also receive instructions to sign up for Smart911, a free service that allows individuals and families to provide key context to 911 call takers and first responders.
As Arkansas manages the COVID-19 outbreak and a surge in 911 calls, the information in these Safety Profiles allows 911 operators to proactively identify and communicate with those at greatest risk while also providing first responders the context and foresight they need to protect themselves from exposure and arrive on the scene fully informed.
