Now offering Weather Alerts!
Severe weather events can jeopardize the safety of residents and their property. Unfortunately, you can’t prevent these events from happening, but you can prepare by setting up emergency weather alerts.
ReadyWake weather alerts leverages Weather Decision Technologies (WDT) to automate location-specific severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service to help keep everyone informed and safe.
How It Works
When we issue a notification about a potential safety hazard or concern, you will receive a message on the voice or text communication methods that you have registered. If requested for the notification, you can confirm that you have received the message and you will not be contacted by any subsequent methods regarding that particular notification. If you do not confirm, the system will continue to attempt to reach you at all of the contact paths that you have registered.
