EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION OPT-IN
In our continued effort to improving the safety of citizens in the unincorporated areas of Bernalillo County, Bernalillo County and the Emergency Communications Center (E9-1-1), are pleased to announce you may now register your cellular and/or VoIP phone number(s) for the purpose of receiving emergency notifications. Bernalillo County has an emergency notification system which can be used to send important messages to residents and businesses within the unincorporated areas of the County with the capability of sending thousands of messages in a very short time, based on the geographic location of an incident.
Examples of Emergency Notifications may be:
- Evacuation notices due to emergency situations, such as fire, flood or other environmental hazard.
- Notifications of dangerous situations in your area, such as an environmental hazard, law enforcement investigation or other instance where you may be instructed to remain in your home.
* Notifications are NOT automatic and are sent at the direction of an incident commander or other managing authority of a situation.
If you have a landline phone, either residential or business, your phone number has automatically been entered into the system and is capable of receiving an emergency notification.
If your primary phone is a cellular/VoIP phone number and you would like to receive the emergency notification you will need to register the phone number with Target Notification.
Keep in mind once you register your phone number and the Bernalillo County Emergency Communications Department sends out an emergency message, you will receive the notification even if you are NOT in the affected area at the time.
Also, if you change your cellular/VoIP phone number you will need to re-register it.
