Regroup Mass Communication
As communicated prior, our previous vendor for mass emergency communications Code Red is no longer our vendor for alerts. Watonwan County, along with the City of Madelia, City of St. James, St. James Minnesota Police Department, Watonwan County Emergency Management, and Watonwan County Sheriff’s Office has contracted with ReGroup mass communications. Even if you had previously signed up for this service, you will need to register again.
