1. Will I still get iALERT emergency notifications if I don't sign up?

If you don't sign up, you will still receive notifications on your traditional home phone, but nowhere else.

2. What if my phone number or email address changes?

The system is only as good as the information you provide. If your cell phone, work phone or email address changes, you must go to Your Profile and update the information. The one exception is traditional landlines. If a traditional landline changes to another landline number, that information will be automatically updated.

3. Will my contact information be shared with others?

No, the information that you provide will be used for emergency purposes only. We will not give or sell your telephone numbers or email addresses to any vendor or other organization.

4. What won’t the system be used for?

Severe thunderstorms and tornado events move too swiftly to notify residents within this system. The storm or danger will have already passed by the time the majority of the messages are received. The Office of Emergency Management recommends purchasing a NOAA Weather Radio to provide weather awareness at all times.
