Officials preparing for Democratic National Convention…With the Democratic National Convention taking place Aug. 19-22 in Chicago, Village officials are busy preparing for potential tourism and public safety impacts that could arise as a result of the high-profile event taking place a few miles from Oak Park. The Village is working with county, state and other regional partners leading up the convention. For more information, email prepare@oak-park.us. As the convention draws near, any local updates will be posted on the Village’s social media pages and on the Village website at www.oak-park.us.
Sign up for emergency alerts…The Village maintains an alert system to notify residents when emergency situations occur. The system requires residents to register, but allows citizens to choose how they wish to be notified — by text, email and/or voice message. The system is intended for emergency notifications, not news or general information. Alerts from the Village typically include information about topics such as snow emergency parking and mosquito spraying. To sign up, visit www.oak-park.us/notifyme. Anyone who would like to sign up, but lacks access to a computer can call 708.358.5489 to be added to the voice message alert list. For more information, email prepare@oak-park.us.
