Delaware Emergency Notification System
The Delaware Emergency Notification System (DENS) is the primary system for public warning and emergency protective action information in Delaware. The system allows local 911 centers or emergency managers to send messages to the specific street, neighborhood, or larger areas affected by the event.
Register for FREE today by clicking this link to DENS. You will be taken to the registration page with simple step-by-step instructions, managed by SwiftReach.
COVID-19 – Delaware’s Response, Data & Safety
You are required to wear a face covering in public settings, including in grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, doctor’s offices, and on public transportation. Wearing a cloth face covering does not eliminate the need to physically distance yourself from others. Individuals with general questions about coronavirus can call 2-1-1 or text your ZIP code to 898-211 for deaf and hard of hearing. Information, data, and guidance are available at this link. Specific mask / face covering requirements for the public and and all ages are available at this link.
Watch a live press briefing around 1:45pm on Tuesday on coronavirus with Governor Carney and state officials. Delaware is currently in Phase 2 of the reopening. Testing is available, even for those with no symptoms. You can watch on Governor Carney’s Facebook page or on the State of Delaware COVID-19 website.
NOAA All-Hazards Radio
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio (NWR) provides an excellent source of up-to-date, real time emergency information. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Additional information is available at this link.
