It is available to all year-round and seasonal residents in Muskoka free of charge and can be narrowed down by the user to a specific area of interest and\/or geographical area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MERC is made up of Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) representatives from each of Muskoka\u2019s six lower-tier municipalities, First Nations, area OPP detachment commanders, and the District emergency management (EM) staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMERC members work to support integrated municipal emergency response across Muskoka, ensuring effective deployment of resources in the protection of health, safety, environment, welfare and property of the residents and visitors of Muskoka,\u201d notes a report compiled for the District health services committee by chief of paramedic services and emergency planning Jeff McWilliam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to McWilliam, a method for communicating emergencies both internally and to the public was identified as an area requiring attention and in late 2020 a subcommittee under MERC was created to investigate the platforms available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne requirement of the prospective emergency notification system was that it meets the needs of each respective area, as a joint initiative, and assists in bridging the gap of internal and cross-municipal emergency communications,\u201d stated McWilliam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McWilliam noted that the subcommittee had explored four vendors and selected Voyent Alert! as the vendor of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVoyent Alert! templates and administrator platforms are the same for all Muskoka administrators, therefore all EM staff are familiar with how to populate and upload a notification,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn annual service fee of $4,000 per year includes eight (8) administrators across Muskoka, and unlimited subscribers, training, and notifications. The Township of Muskoka Lakes has covered the costs associated with the first year of operation, in 2020, for all Area Municipalities, First Nations and the District. The next renewal fee is due before the end of the year,\u201d stated McWilliam, also noting that the cost for 2021 was approved as part of the 2021 tax supported budget under emergency management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Vadlja, fire prevention officer with the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department, spoke about the initiative to Huntsville council at its June 28 meeting. He said registration is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he&#8217;s working on setting up notification templates in order to push out advisories for issues like rising waters in the Big East River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDefinitely if you get a chance download the app and register yourself and that way you can receive notifications,\u201d he told Huntsville council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information and registration for Voyent Alert! can be accessed through the District of Muskoka\u2019s website <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muskoka.on.ca\/en\/health-and-emergency-services\/alertmuskoka.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.muskoka.on.ca\/alertmuskoka.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muskoka residents now have a new way to be notified of emergencies happening around them.
