Frequently Asked Questions


Will I still get emergency notifications if I don't sign up?
If you don't sign up, you will only receive emergency notifications on your traditional landline home phone (if you have one), but nowhere else. These notifications can take longer, depending on call volume. 

If I was registered for BlackboardConnect, will I have to re-register?
No, you will not have to re-register for emergency alerts. If you signed up for other non-emergency alerts like library or animal shelter, you will have to update your preferences.

How much does it cost?
Mobile Alerts are free; however, standard message and data rates may apply.

What if my contact information changes?
The system is only as good as the information you provide. If your cell phone, work phone, address or email address change, you will need to update your profile and contact information. For this reason, during the registration process, it is important that you create a profile so, that you can go back to change your information anytime.

Should I call 9-1-1 when I receive an emergency notification?
No. If you get an emergency notification regarding a situation in your area, the 9-1-1 systems are already very busy. Please do not call 9-1-1, but instead, follow the notification instructions.

Should I wait for an emergency notification before I evacuate or take shelter?
If you are aware of an emergency situation occurring in your area, do not wait for a notification if you do not feel safe. Take action as you see fit, depending on the emergency.

Will my contact information be shared with others?
No, the information you provide is used for emergency purposes only. We will not give away or sell your phone numbers or email addresses to any vendors or organizations.
