Access Alerts and Warnings

Download some of these recommended apps for your iPhone or Android device to stay up-to-date on important hazard information:
Opt-in/Sign-up Text and Email Systems
Many jurisdictions have opt-in public alert and warning systems. An opt-in system means you must sign up to receive the alert. Once you have signed up, officials in your area can send you text or email messages about local emergencies. Most opt-in systems allow subscribers to choose the devices that receive alerts as well as the types of alerts.
To find out about alerts available in your area, do an internet search with your town, city, or county name and the word “alerts.” From there, you can visit websites for your local emergency management or public safety office. Additionally, you can contact these offices by telephone.
Kits
A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them.
Learn how to customize kits to accommodate babies and children, pets, workplace needs, and items for your car.
