The City of Logan has provided information regarding how citizens can gather critical updates from local emergency management and first responders during a disaster. The city utilizes several different communication channels to distribute emergency alerts to the public.
Broadcast Media Channels
As part of the Emergency Alert System, broadcasts will be issued via radio and television stations. Local radio stations for these alerts include 610 AM KVNU and 1610 AM Cache County Emergency Management. For television, KSL Channel 5 serves as a local station for emergency broadcasts.
Digital and Registration Options
In addition to broadcast media, disaster-related information will be available through the Logan City webpage and the city's Facebook and Twitter profiles. Residents also have the option to register with Everbridge for the Emergency Alert Program.
NOAA Weather Radio Functions
The NOAA Weather Radios (NWR) function as an all-hazards public warning system that broadcasts forecasts, alerts, and emergency information 24 hours a day. These messages cover natural events such as severe thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes, as well as technological accidents like chemical releases, oil spills, train derailments, nuclear power plant emergencies, and maritime accidents.
Additional NWR Broadcast Information
NWR also broadcasts Amber Alerts and information regarding terrorist attacks. Non-weather emergency messages are broadcast over the NWR when public safety is involved, the message originates from an official government source, and time is critical.
