Notes

Want e-mails AND texts?
You can sign up for either e-mail or text message using this service, per account. If you’d like a combination of both text and e-mails (or some of each, based on your preferences), you’ll need to sign up using an e-mail address and mobile number as separate accounts. You can always unsubscribe or change your preferences by going to Manage subscription.

*How incidents affecting service are updated throughout the week
Our Control Center is staffed with people who can publish emergency alerts from early mornings through late evenings, daily; this service is not available during overnight hours. Alerts are posted once reports come in and there’s helpful information to give, and details may change over time.
