ONTARIO -(Cal Fire News) - Touted as the the new cutting edge website for cities, The City of Ontario Emergency disinformation Web site that gives the public immediate access to "Official" information about fires, earthquakes, road closures and other local emergencies debuted Tuesday. Based on a simple Google map API the cutting edge remains to be seen but it maybe somewhat effective combined with the e-mail notification list if both are updated and timely it will be helpful but certainly not cutting edge and official information tends to be diluted and dated.
It does have its supporters though considering it will reduce the phone answering workload for the PIO,
"This is a real strong tool for residents, businesses and the media,"
Ontario Fire Department spokesman Jacob Green said.
The home page of the Web site features a interactive map of the city. When a
significant emergency occurs, its location will be posted on the map,
along with links to other critical information, such as evacuation
plans or shelter.
