Note about e-mail alert messages:

  • E-mail alerts are sent directly to your e-mail. *If your e-mail has spam filters or other filtering software you may need to modify it to allow the alerts.
  • In order to receive text alerts you must enter the text message email address of your wireless device. Please note that you should check with your service provider as you may incur personal charges for receiving text alerts.

*PLEASE BE ADVISED: During an incident there maybe a large number of emergency alerts generated because the local media may request regular updates. This will result in a large amount of messages to your email account or wireless device and may become inconvenient or too costly because of charges to your wireless account. (Read Disclaimer)
