Messages will be prioritized as Alerts (weather warnings, severe storms), Advisories (school closings, missing persons), or Community (Smoke testing, Block Party street closings) messages and may include other relevant safety and community event information.
The messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a ¼ mile radius, giving them the opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive information. Subscribers can also choose which of the types of messages are received and the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text message, or by voice.
