The city of Glendale is implementing an emergency notification system to alert residents to critical situations in the community.
The Community Alert System offers a multichannel approach through email, phone calls or text messages and uses geo-targeting to notify citizens of events, a press release explains. The system is free and available to anyone who lives, works, or spends time in Glendale.
To sign up for notifications:
Download the Everbridge app through the Apple or Google Play Store on a mobile device or sign up through GlendaleAZ.com/emergency-management
Type City of Glendale Citizens in the search bar
Follow the prompts to sign up and select alerting preference (phone call, text message or email)
Include the associated Glendale address for notifications
“Public safety is our top priority and this notification system is the quickest and most far-reaching mode to share information when seconds truly matter,” Deputy City Manager Rick St. John stated. “We encourage residents, and anyone who spends time in Glendale, to take advantage of the Community Alert System and ensure accurate and timely information is sent directly to you.”
Information in the Everbridge app is only used for hazardous or emergency situations by the city’s emergency management team and contact information is never shared. The system does not receive messages.
