In the bustling city of Goodyear, residents have a new way to stay ahead of emergencies. According to a recent announcement, the city has launched GY Alerts, an alert system designed to keep the community informed during crises. The service, detailed on Goodyear's official site, uses RAVE Mobile Safety Solutions to send residents real-time notifications via text, email, and voice messages about imminent threats to their well-being.

Mayor Joe Pizzillo emphasized the importance of public safety, declaring that "GY Alerts is another example of our continuous efforts to ensure our residents feel safe in our community and are well-informed in the event that we need to disseminate urgent information." This sentiment was echoed by Goodyear Police Chief Art Miller, who stressed the significance of direct communication during emergencies, noting that the system provides crucial information right to residents' phones.

The city’s announcement states that the GY Alerts aren't just limited to pressing emergencies. The system also enables subscribers to customize notifications they receive, including weather updates, safety alerts from state and county departments, traffic disruptions from the Arizona Department of Transportation, and other pertinent information from nearby cities.

Fire Chief Paul Luizzi highlighted the adaptability of today's residents, saying, "Our residents are more mobile than ever before and signing up for GY Alerts allows residents to stay connected during times of emergencies or severe weather." Anyone interested in opting into these alerts can register on Goodyear's website, ensuring that they have prompt access to potentially life-saving information.
