San Luis Obispo County, in partnership with the seven cities within the county, is excited to announce the launch of AlertSLO. AlertSLO is a new mass notification system that allows residents to register to receive important information directly impacting their daily lives.
“Clear, timely communication is essential to keeping our communities safe and informed,” said County Emergency Services Manager Scott Jalbert, “With AlertSLO, we can quickly notify residents about important events like highway closures, weather warnings, or large planned power outages, allowing them to take necessary precautions.”
Residents are encouraged to visit AlertSLO.org to register for notifications tailored to their needs. During registration, residents can select the types of alerts they would like to receive. They can also choose to receive alerts for other cities, such as work locations or areas where family and friends live.
Key Features of AlertSLO:
- Notifications for severe weather, road closures, large power outages, 911 outages, public health emergencies and other important community information will be sent out.
- Although designed to share important information, the system may also be used to provide information during emergencies.
- Residents can choose to receive alerts by text message, email, pager, or voice call.
- Opt in to receive alerts from multiple locations, in addition to your home area.
- The service is free to use.
Residents are encouraged to register for the system today to make sure they don’t miss out on important community information.
