Rescue Alert Information & Form

Rescue Alert Form 

The City of Mineola wants all visitors to the Mineola Nature Preserve to remain safe at all times. So a new Rescue Alert Form has been added to the Nature Preserve website that will allow a visitor to use their cell phone to send their location to a live, local operator that can help the visitor find their way back to a campground or trail or send assistance for medical emergencies.
