KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – The Kanawha County Commission on Thursday night presented a new county alert app, created in a collaboration between the county’s Emergency Management, Metro 911, and the county Sheriff’s Office.

The app will provide several helpful features to keep you safe in an emergency situation, including emergency management alerts, alarms, and emergency contacts. It even makes it easier to replace your smoke alarms.

That app is available now on the App Store under the name “Kanawha Alert.”

In other business during the meeting, commissioners decided to schedule trick-or-treat on the actual date of Halloween, Oct. 31, starting next year -- and from then on out annually.
