Telephone Notification
Princeton Township has acquired the services of Community Alert Network (CAN).
(CAN) Community Alert Network has a computerized telephone system that can target a general township wide area or a very specific area and send messages to over 13,000-15,000 phones per hour. If there is an emergency that may be a risk to Princeton Township, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will activate the CAN system.
