What is Palmetto Bay CONNECT?
Palmetto Bay CONNECT is one of the newest Village apps to hit the Apple and Google stores!
Palmetto Bay CONNECT is a tool that allows the Village to send alerts and notifications to subscribed residents in real time to make residents aware of any emergency or unexpected situation that is happening in the Village. For example, if there is a flash flooding warning specifically issued for Palmetto Bay, we will send out an alert. If there is police activity in an area of the Village or a road closure by the Village, we will send out that notification.
Besides deploying alerts during emergency situations, the Village also uses Palmetto Bay CONNECT to inform residents of upcoming programs and events at Village parks. There is a specific group that subscribers can join to receive park alerts. In fact, there are specific groups that the user can select based on their preferences.
