Newlin Township is creating a system to contact residents via e-mail in case of local emergencies. Send your e-mail address to Township Secretary Gail Abel at info@newlintownship.org, subject line “Emergency e-mail list”.
According to the township's June newsletter, this comes in response to "the recent escape of a resident from the VisionQuest facility and subsequent break-in and police chase. The man was captured and sent to a more secure facility."
This isn't the first time that inmates have broken out of this facility, which is located at the former Embreeville State Hospital. From the May newsletter: "Vision Quest had two escapees last Saturday. They allegedly, but unsuccessfully, tried to steal a car from Embreeville Mill."
The township also plans to send out alerts about "flooding, road closures and snow emergencies."
Who wouldn't sign up for that?
