CITIZEN EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM

You do not have to be a resident to register!

The Everbridge Citizen Alert System allows residents and visitors to receive alerts issued by the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office of imminent threats and emergency warnings. This system has the option to enter one or multiple addresses that any registrant requests to be aware of in the event of an emergency.

(examples: primary residence, vacation property, child's school, daycare facilities, pet sitter, etc.)

It also allows for multiple methods of notification which can be customized by each registrant.

(examples: phone call, text message, e-mail, page, etc.)

 It is essential that you enter your most current information into your Everbridge account. If your contact information changes, you must update the information in your account to ensure you receive future notifications. The address must be verified within the system, post office boxes will not be notified. Without a valid address, the system will not be able to locate you when a notification is launched.

With that said, we are hoping that you will share this information with family, friends, and neighbors.
