BLACKBOARD CONNECT COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

What is Blackboard Connect?

Blackboard Connect is a mass notification system used by the Town of Highland Park to alert residents and business of emergency or urgent situations, to include:

• Emergency Situations Involving Public Safety
• Severe Weather
• Hazardous Materials Incidents
• Mosquito Spraying

Update Your Account

Every month Blackboard Connect automatically retrieves home and business telephone numbers that are available for public access. However, it’s important for you to sign-up to Blackboard Connect and add those avenues for communication where you are most likely to receive the message immediately. We suggest you add the following:

• Cell Phone numbers - You may receive both voice and text messages. We encourage both.
• Email Address - You may add multiple email addresses.
• Additional home or work telephone number

Do you need assistance with Blackboard Connect?

You are encouraged to contact Lt. Jessa Russell directly by email, or call 214-559-9487. Most often, Lt. Russell is able to update/add your contact information within a few short minutes.
