City Launches Emergency Notification System

 The City of Galveston has implemented an Emergency Notification System. The city's goal is to provide essential information quickly in a variety of situations including unexpected road or street closures or the need to evacuate buildings or neighborhoods due to situations like hurricanes, severe weather, abnormally high tides, and water service suspensions.

 How To Sign Up To Receive These Important Communications From The City

 Residents, business owners and neighbors must register the voice and text communication devices where they wish to receive messages. Messages can be sent simultaneously in voice and text formats to all standard voice and text communication devices, including landline phone, cell phone and e-mail.

 To Sign Up For The Emergency Notification System

 To add your contact information into the Emergency Notification System, please visit the Citys website, cityofgalveston.org and click on the registration link. To protect the privacy of your personal information, a provision has been included in the Citys contract that maintains the confidentiality of your information.

 Please note: To expedite the process residents, businesses and neighbors with listed telephone numbers have already been included in the system. You may use the registration link to register additional communication devices, such as your cell phone, into the system.
