effective and efficient, but you should not rely on it
exclusively. This system supplements, rather than replaces,
other communication methods used by emergency responders,
both in person and through the use of other media.
Television, radio and County/city websites will continue to
broadcast important announcements as well. AlertSCC
communications are dependent upon external providers
