With severe weather scheduled for tonight, Clinton city officials are encouraging residents to get signed up for the 'HyperReach' alert system through the City's website.

Clinton City Administrator Tony Harris, who is well versed on the system from his days at the DeWitt County 9-1-1 Center, says the 'HyperReach' alert system covers everything from severe weather to boil orders.

According to Harris, the system is very flexible in how you receive notices but cautions, there will be some notices that may come in the middle of the night.
