The city of Grand Forks, N.D. is setting up an automated notification system called City Watch, to call citizens with recorded messages regarding the flood situation along the Red River. Residents need to sign up for City Watch through the city's Web site, and provide a phone number that can receive messages.
City Watch will make three attempts to contact citizens and will leave messages in voicemail boxes and on answering machines. The information will be used for emergency notification purposes only.
