2. Completing Your Profile

After creating your user name and password, you'll be brought to a page where you can complete your profile. This is where you enter your personal information, including First Name, Last Name and Registration Email.

Next, you will select how you want to receive alerts. Options may include SMS text messages, email, mobile phones, landlines, or a mobile application for Android and iOS devices. The order you set these contact paths will be the order we will try and reach you in the event of an emergency.

You can also register as a resident or business — simply use your company name for first and last name if registering a business.

3. Choose Your Location Preferences

We send alerts based on a geographical location on a map. Insert up to five addresses for which you want to receive an alert if the location is affected by an incident or upcoming event.

IMPORTANT - If the address you provided is not in our database of known addresses for our jurisdiction, you will be presented with other options to add your address into this system, including:
  • Selection from a list of suggested addresses
  • Dropping a pin to select your location on the map (Microsoft Silverlight plug-in is required)
You will not receive any location based alerts if you do not provide a complete address.
