On the website of the municipality where you live, you can access to the registration form in 1 or 2 clicks. Once you have completed the form, the city will have your phone number allowing it to alert you to an important situation that requires your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Please note that the name of these automated calling systems varies from one municipality to another.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148-1024x562.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16658\" style=\"width:588px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148-1024x562.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148-768x421.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148-1536x843.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC_4148.jpg 1863w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Overflow of the North River in Lachute during the  2016 flood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Wentworth<\/strong> the system is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wentworth.ca\/accueil\/affichage.asp?langue=2&amp;B=256\">TELMATIK.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Lachute<\/strong>, it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lachute.ca\/automated-call-system\/\">AUTOMATED CALL SYSTEM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Gore <\/strong>the system is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cantondegore.qc.ca\/en\/municipal-services\/fire-safety-department\">TELMATIK MESSAGE EXPRESS<\/a>.<br \/><br \/>At <strong>Brownsburgh-Chatham<\/strong> it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/brownsburgchatham.ca\/citoyen\/services-en-ligne\/abonnement-service-dappels- automatises\/\">SOMUM: the Municipal Automated Calling and Texting<br \/>Service <\/a>.<br \/><br \/>So be proactive by signing up now for this service which can sometimes save you small and big problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"423\" height=\"216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Drapeau-Canada-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16648\" style=\"width:276px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Drapeau-Canada-2.jpg 423w, https:\/\/www.dunany.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Drapeau-Canada-2-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Johanne Vall\u00e9e DCA Board Member If you attended our last Annual General Meeting you heard about the automated callsystems for municipalities, which allows them to quickly reach their citizens in the event of anemergency situation.
