Dane County has implemented a Reverse 911 Community Notification System. The Reverse 911 system allows the County 911 Center to rapidly notify residents and businesses by telephone. In the event of an emergency, an operator in the 911 Center can identify the affected neighborhood or region of the County and record a message that describes the situation and recommends the protective actions residents should take.The telephone number database contains only the telephone numbers listed in the White Pages for Dane County. Reverse 911 will not notify people with unlisted numbers or cell phones, UNLESS you enter your unlisted or cell phone number manually.

"The excellence of Madison’s parks is no accident. Nor is it merely the result of the hard work of the City of Madison’s highly dedicated Parks Division. Truth is, Madison’s parks have been shaped in no small part by the extraordinary efforts of ordinary Madisonians who saw ways to make improvements and got to work marshalling neighborhood energy and support." Madison Parks Foundation the successor to the

Madison Parks & Pleasure Drive Association serves as a tax-exempt repository for funds raised for the purpose of financing specific park improvements, among other activities.The foundation's Board is trying to "get the word" out about the Foundation and how they can assist civic-minded individuals and groups in making positive contributions to their local neighborhood parks.

If you interested in donating or have an idea about a way to improve your local park see Partner with the Madison Parks Foundation Document or visit their website at http://www.madisonparksfoundation.org/index.htm
