Public Safety Alerts

Receive emergency alerts from public safety alerting authorities, notifying you of situations that threaten the safety of yourself or those you care about. Public safety alerts include, but not limited to events such as crime, active shooter, imminent danger, hazardous materials, wildfire, floods, need for immediate evacuation, etc.

Community Notifications

You can also choose to receive notifications of events in your community that, while not life-threatening emergencies, still impact your daily life and commute, such as road closures, snow emergencies, power outages, etc.

Severe Weather Alerts

Receive advanced warning of severe weather when you or one of your locations is in the direct path of the storm. AlertSense receives feeds from the National Weather Service, automatically interprets the geographic area affected, and delivers targeted alerts immediately to app users when one of their locations falls within the impact area. You can tailor your alert settings by location, selecting the severity level for which you want to receive notifications. For example, you can choose to receive only the most severe weather warnings or all watches and advisories as well.

Sign up today to receive public safety alerts and severe weather warnings that could directly impact you and your family.

Provide your address and preferred method(s) of contact for receiving public safety alerts issued by your local jurisdiction and optional weather alerts from the National Weather Service. Physical address is required for geo-coding to allow tailoring so you do not receive alerts that don’t pertain to your geographical area. 

Alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply. Visit https://public.alertsense.com/SignUp/ to sign up online.
