If you live on an island or boat on Winnipesaukee you need the Lake Alert App. Professional help is usually 15 to 30 minutes away if you live on an island and a tow boat could be hours away if you break down. Lake Alert is not a substitute for calling 911 for help. You call 911 then send out an alert to your neighbors or fellow boaters alerting them to a fire, medical emergency or a boater in distress. A neighbor who might be a nurse responding while waiting for EMS could be a lifesaver. A fellow boater might give you a tow to a safe dock or a lot of boaters might tow you home. A small fire caused by a downed power line could be controlled by several islanders keeping it manageable until the fire department arrives. Many neighbors have a better chance of finding a lost child.
Originally developed by The Meredith Islands Association for use on the Meredith Islands, it has been expanded to include all of the larger islands and a special group for boaters. All islanders who download the App are encouraged to also join the boaters group.
The app is now sponsored by The Goodhue Boat Company and to celebrate their sponsorship and the fourth we are offering the app at a reduced price. In addition everyone who has downloaded the app by midnight July 3 will be entered into a drawing for a $50. Gas Gift certificate to be used at either Goodhue's Wolfeboro or Meredith locations. There are both Apple and Android versions so go to the Apple store or Play store and download Lake Alert Today.
