What are push notifications, and why do we want to send them to you?

Website push notifications are quick messages that we can send to you through your browser if you have agreed to receive news and updates from us. Here is an example of what a notification looks like on your desktop:

We will send Red Alerts, news, event updates, and other important information you do not want to miss. Subscribe by clicking on the blue "Choose Now" button followed by the "Allow" button to agree to receive the push notifications.

How to manage your subscription
