DO NOT do laundry on those days between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Hydrant flushing stirs up rust and you don't want that in your washer.

An example is the loss of water pressure in the water distribution system requiring the issuance of an order to boil drinking water. . When these incidents occur, the Village immediately notifies tele- vision and radio stations and our own local cable operator request- ing the broadcasting of emer- gency information. We are lim- ited in our ability to personally notify citizens because Police Department and Public Works personnel tend to be occupied at the scene of the incident. At the present time we have no way of ensuring that notification has been made to each of Deer - field's citizens. The Operation Alert Card is an attempt to meet this important need. Here's how the system works. -- Each year, residents will receive an Operation Alert Card in a D'Tales mailing. When a home owner hears or sees an emer- gency broadcast, they are di- rected to read the instructions on the back of the card and then to Operation Alert Card display it on a front window or storm door. The back of the card will provide instructions on where to obtain additional infor- mation. Placing of the card where it can be observed, will in- form emergency personnel that the resident has been alerted to the incident. Additionally, the Operation Alert Card asks residents to contact the neighbors on either side of their property. We certainly encourage residents to call additional neigh- bors in the community if they wish. Advise your neighbor of the emergency and requests that they post the Operation Alert Card and follow the instructions on the back. As you can see, our attempt is to use each citizen as an emergency notification re- source. The Village is continuing in its efforts to find ways to make proper notification to the public during emergency situations. We wish to thank each of you in ad- vance for cooperating with this emergency notification program. The following radio and televi- sion stations are designated our emergency broadcast providers: Radio station WMAQ AM - 670 has been designated as the pri- mary Emergency Broadcast Sta- tion for Lake County. Radio sta- tion WKRS AM - 1220 and WXLC FM - 102.3 are the back- up Emergency Broadcast Sta- tions. Some other ways that you can obtain information in an emer- gency are: Cable television channel 3. The Village can update informa- tion and provide additional in- structions to keep residents in- formed. Other radio stations such as WGN AM - 720, and WBBM AM - 780. Local television news.
