Stay in the know with MOPC Alert

The Municipality of Pictou County has a new tool to communicate with residents, MOPC Alert.

 MOPC Alert will be used to send our residents alerts about upcoming severe weather, comfort center locations and operating times. MOPC Alert will also be used to inform Municipal water customers when there are boil water advisories, or other water-related issues that may be relevant.

We've also recently added a section for residents who would like to be notified about upcoming public engagement meetings hosted by the MOPC.

MOPC Alert will only be used to provide precautionary information. It will NOT be used to convey information that would otherwise be sent through the Nova Scotia Public Alerting System (Alert Ready).

 Residents can choose what they want to be notified about and how they would like to be notified. Notifications can be sent by email, text message and/or by phone call.

Only those who sign up will receive notifications.
