Additionally, designated contacts at properties that joined the program will receive immediate alerts via text message when First Responders are dispatched to the building address. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community Connect is completely voluntary and residents are individually able to decide which information they are comfortable sharing. Residents simply create a profile and enter critical property and occupant information which is then made available to public safety agencies at the time of dispatch. Data provided by residents within Community Connect is 100% secure and is used only for the purpose of better serving the resident during emergency situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about the program and to create your profile, please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityconnect.io\/info\/ny-cityofbatavia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">City of Batavia Community Connect.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About First Due:<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First Due is on a mission to end first responder and citizen injuries due to a lack of information.
