Gurnee launches improved emergency alert system

Gurnee has launched a new and improved version of the Regroup system that delivers real-time emergency alerts, severe weather alerts, road closures, public safety notifications and service announcements by phone call, text, email or an app.

Those interested can sign up at www.gurnee.il.us/alerts. There’s no cost to enroll, but standard text-messaging or data rates from your carrier may apply.

Those previously signed up for the village’s previous alert system must register to continue receiving alerts.
