RDN Launches a new Emergency & Information Alert System

As of August 11, 2020, the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) has a new multi-purpose Emergency & Information Alert system to share information directly to residents who can select how they prefer to receive it. Voyent Alert! allows residents, businesses or visitors to receive messages through an app, text message, voice call or email for critical events such as extreme weather or wildfires. As well, a user can opt in or out of day to day communications such as RDN Service Alerts and Public Notices for recreation and parks alerts, watermain flushing and more.
