City Urges Residents to Sign Up for Winter Alerts

With winter weather continuing to affect North Texas, city officials are encouraging residents to enroll in the local emergency notification system. The alerts are used to share time-sensitive information such as weather impacts, utility issues, and public safety updates.

Recent cold snaps and icy conditions have already caused service disruptions across the region, making timely updates especially important. City leaders say the system is one of the fastest ways to reach residents when conditions change quickly.

Coffee with Cops Set for Mid-February

The Anna Police Department announced an upcoming Coffee with Cops event scheduled for February 13. The informal gathering is designed to give residents a chance to meet officers, share concerns, and build stronger community connections in a relaxed setting.

No agenda or speeches are planned, with the focus instead on conversation and relationship-building. Police officials say these events have been well received in the past and help strengthen trust between officers and the community.

Looking Ahead

Between ongoing winter conditions, major traffic incidents, and community events, city officials are reminding residents to stay informed and engaged. More updates are expected in the coming days as investigations continue and February events get underway.
