This is an important message from the District of Columbia AlertDC system.

 

 

Dear AlertDC Subscriber: As of August 25, 2014, the District of Columbia emergency alerting notification system, AlertDC, has transitioned to a new software platform. The new system is customizable, and allows you to pick and choose what kind of alert notifications you want to receive and how you would like to receive them. Attached you will find the press release issued announcing the launch of the revamped emergency alert and warning system. Should you have any questions or if you received this invitation in error, please reply to alert.help@dc.gov. Regards, District of Columbia Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency

 

On August 25, 2014, AlertDC migrated to this new system. You will receive an email with a link to update your existing account information. For additional information, please visit alertdc.dc.gov.

Important changes are coming to the Alert Montgomery system in the next few weeks. The new enhancements to our alert system will improve the speed, reliability and customization of alerts you can receive. What this means to you is that you will need to re-register your Alert Montgomery County account in order to take advantage of the enhancements on the new system. 

We are scheduled to launch the new service on October 15, 2014. On that date you will receive an email from the new Alert Montgomery vendor, Everbridge, with a trusted and secure link prompting you to take the following actions: 

 

1) Create a username and password;  

2) Review current user information and update if necessary; 

3) Customize the methods in which you wish to receive notifications (choose your devices and prioritization of selected devices); and 

4) Choose the types of alerts you would like to receive. 

For account holders who signed up prior to October 2014, we will transfer your account data to the enhanced version of Alert Montgomery; however, you must log on to create a username and password as well as double check your contact information and alert categories.
