You can register to receive alerts numerous ways, including on your cell, work and home phones, text message, e-mail and more.

Registering is easy - create a user name and password, add your contact information then select any additional community updates to receive. To ensure that you receive the community updates you selected as well as emergency alerts, register at least one phone number and one email address.
