Alert is an emergency notification system powered by Everbridge which allows public safety agencies to help protect lives and property by providing critical information to residents during emergencies and dangerous situations. Public safety agencies can quickly send out an emergency alert to citizens in any affected geographic area. The current database includes only traditional wire-line telephone (the “land line” phone you may have in your home). If you want the system to send alerts to other communication devices that you use, such as your cell phone, email, text message, you will have to provide your contact information by logging into the system and signing up for alerts.

This system will be used when there are imminent threats to life, health, and safety such as severe weather events, hazardous material emergencies, evacuation orders, law enforcement activity and more. Local government officials will also notify you of information that may affect the locations of your choice.
