Jackson County Citizen Alert
Get alerted about emergencies and other important events by signing up for our Citizen Alert Program.
This notification system helps local officials to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations such as fire, flood, unexpected road closures, missing persons, and evacuation of buildings or neighborhoods.
Citizen Alert is for all Jackson County residents, including those who live with incorporated cities.
The Citizen Alert system allows local officials to alert you to an emergency in your area such as a flood, fire, or other hazard. It can also deliver important information about non-emergency events that may impact you, such as road closures. You can choose how you want to be contacted and which locations you want to be contacted about.
In the event of an emergency, local officials will use the system to call homes and businesses in the affected area. If you register other contact paths such as your mobile phone, work phone, or email, you can be notified even when you’re not at home. The system will try all your contact paths until you confirm that you got the message.
You specify how you want to be contacted
For example, you can tell the system to call your mobile and work phones in case of an Emergency Alert, but only send an email for a non-emergency Community Alert. You specify which locations you care about. For example, you can be notified of issues that affect your house, your mother’s house, or your kids’ school.
We can’t alert you if we can’t reach you!
The system is already set up to call landline telephones, but what if you don’t have a landline telephone? What if an event occurs while you are away from home?
Be sure to sign up to add your contact information to the database! All information you provide is kept confidential and will not be sold or used for any purpose other than alert notifications. You can opt out or change your notification preferences at any time.
