Few things are as frustrating as planning a day at the beach only to show up and find out that it is closed. However, thanks to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's (IDEM) updated BeachAlert notification system, beachgoers can "know before they go!"
BeachAlert allows residents to sign up for text and email notifications about beach advisories and closures due to bacteria levels. More than 35 beaches participate in the program, providing real-time status updates on beach conditions. BeachAlert also allows users to check if their favorite beaches are under a contamination advisory or closure, check water sample results, and find out information on the organization responsible for monitoring the beach.
"Each year, hundreds of thousands of people head to Indiana beaches along Lake Michigan for fun and recreation in the water," said IDEM Commissioner Brian Rockensuess. "BeachAlert is an incredible, customizable tool, allowing beachgoers to plan before visiting their favorite beaches."
