However, cable interrupt systems were tested manually including CSi Cable in Jamestown.\u00a0 The Stutsman Alerts notification system powered by Everbridge was also <u>not<\/u> activated for this test.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Stutsman Alerts system allows individuals to sign up for immediate notification of up to six different weather warnings including tornado, thunderstorm, flood, flash flood, winter storm and blizzard.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up for Stutsman Alerts, go to the Stutsman County webpage at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stutsmancounty.org\">www.stutsmancounty.org<\/a> and click on the Stutsman Alerts icon. \u00a0Choose to receive weather warnings via land-line telephones, cell-phones (optional text messaging) and email.\u00a0 Stutsman Alerts is a no-cost way to receive immediate weather warnings, but registration including a Stutsman County street address is required to utilize the service.<\/p>\n<p>For those needing assistance to register, contact Stutsman County Emergency Management at 701-252-9093.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Stutsman County conducted a county wide tornado exercise Weds May 1 as part of Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week.\u00a0 The exercise began at 11:15 a.m. simulating what occurs locally when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service.
