Ding! Stay On Top of Things With New Harker Heights Alerts

As the newest resident in Texas, I'm beginning to adjust to how to drive, where to go, and more importantly where to go for good food and any other special events taking place. As it turns out, Harker Heights, Texas has released something both new and current residents can use to keep up with current events happening in the city.

According to a press release sent out by the city, a new "eblast" service has been launched. Named "GovDelivery", it's set up to deliver anything breaking in the city of Harker Heights.

In the press release, States Assistant City Manager Jerry Bark went into detail about the new system.

"This new service allows us to efficiently share news, action alerts, event notices, and updates in a timely fashion – all delivered directly to your email inbox or by text-message notifications," Bark said.

Also according to the press release, resident and visitors can choose which alerts they'd like to receive. Bark said of the ability to do tasks such as that, “We hope you will find it useful to have the ability to customize your eblasts based upon your particular interests in the City services.”

In the era of digital news sharing that we live in, this will be definitely useful to many like myself who may want to visit the city of Harker Heights to see what is going on.

In the meantime, I'll still be looking for a Whataburger around these parts. Aren't they supposed to be everywhere? (I'm joking of course!)
