TEXTCASTER

In an effort to improve communication with Village residents, the Village has chosen the TextCaster messaging program to broadcast timely information. This program is a web-based application that allows Village personnel to broadcast content to many people simultaneously across multiple delivery methods. Residents can elect to receive text messages on a cellular telephone or an e-mail to a chosen e-mail account.

Individuals wishing to receive information from the Village need only to select the topics they wish to receive information about by following the subscription prompts. You can also receive National Weather Service alerts through this service. This system will also be used to contact residents in the event of an emergency. The reverse 9-1-1 system previously provided by the McHenry County Emergency Telephone System Board has been discontinued due to the migration of County residents to wireless telephone versus landlines.
