Arlington Emergency Text Messaging System

[notice date: April 2003]

For all of those people who live/work in Arlington, the county has set-up a new, free text messaging service to alert you of a major crisis or emergency... http://www.arlingtonalert.com

Arlington County's Community Alert System uses the Roam Secure Alert Network to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency. This system delivers important emergency alerts, notifications and updates to you on all your devices and email accounts:

email account (work, home, other)
cell phone
pager
blackberry device
PDA (Palm, iPAQ, etc...)

When an incident or emergency occurs, authorized Arlington County Emergency Management personnel will rapidly notify you using the Community Alert System.

This system is solely for the use of Arlington County residents and people working for businesses located in Arlington County. Registration is free of charge. Arlington County reserves the right to enforce these subscription limitations at any time.

Note: This service does not replace existing public safety warning methods also used by the County.
