Disasters Happen! The good news is it’s easy to make sure you and the people and things you care about, are ready.
Get Ready
There are many different ways you can stay informed about what is happening before, during and after an event. Sign up for text alerts and find out more about our suite of alerting tools.
Stay Informed
Emergency Mobile Alert is a way of receiving information about emergencies in your area. If your life, health or property is in danger, Emergency Mobile Alerts can be sent to your mobile, without needing to sign up or download an app.
Emergency Mobile Alert is broadcast to all capable phones from targeted cell towers. The alerts will be targeted to areas affected by serious hazards.
You don’t have to download an app or subscribe to a service. Just ensure your phone is capable and the operating system software is updated. If your phone is on, capable and inside the targeted location, you should get the alerts.
If you get an alert, read the message and take it seriously. It will tell you what the emergency is and what to do. It will also tell you which agency sent the message and, if needed, where to go for more information.
