Emergency Mass Notification System

The system will be used to notify residents about imminent threats to health and safety such as the need to evacuate due to a wildfire, or take other appropriate actions in the event of a flash flood or other critical police activity. You will see the alert as coming from 911Alert@bouldercounty.org

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, follow the notification instructions.

If you are aware of a situation occurring in your area, do not wait for a call if you do not feel safe. Take action as you see fit depending on the emergency.

If your cell phone, work phone or email address changes, you are responsible for going to the website and updating the information. You do not need to update information for landline telephones at your home, if your landline is with a company that reports your number for 9-1-1 services. Some cable and VoIP providers do not subscribe to the 9-1-1 database. You must inquire from your phone company.

If you don’t sign up, you will still receive emergency notification on your traditional landline home phone, but nowhere else. These notifications can take longer depending on call volume.

This service allows public agencies to make notifications in multiple ways to increase the likelihood that residents and businesses are notified of emergencies. It also helps us serve the growing number of people who are using cell phones as their primary telephone.

No, the information that you provide will be used for emergency purposes only. It will not be given to any other vendor or organization or used for any other purpose.

When the emergency notification is activated, the system will make several attempts to reach the registered numbers. Due to the emergency, phone systems, both landline and cell may be inundated with calls and your provider may not be able to deliver the message. We do not assume legal responsibility for technical difficulties that may result in notification failures.

We cannot monitor the current or future accuracy of the information provided by participants in this program. It is the sole responsibility of participants to keep any information provided current and accurate. We do not assume legal responsibility for inaccurate information that may result in notification failures.
