Every emergency is different, so it’s important to PREPARE thoroughly before one ever occurs and follow directions from first responders—even if they seem different from what you’d normally do.
Emergency Alerts will be issued according to zone. For example, during a tsunami, you might receive a warning alert to take higher ground. The best way to stay informed is to learn your zone and sign up for emergency alerts.
Emergency Alerts will also be issued via SMC Alerts for county emergencies. Click below to sign up to receive alerts via text, email, and voice mail.
We can’t send you alerts if you’re not registered. These are voluntary opt-in programs. Download the Genasys Protect App and sign up for SMC Alerts today.
Have a Go Bag packed for all your family members, including your pets, so you can take action as soon as you receive instructions.
Know what to do if you have to evacuate for any reason. Ensure everybody knows two ways out of the house, and designate a meeting spot outside the home.
Every emergency is different, so it’s crucial to pay attention to the instructions you receive in real time from Genasys Protect and SMC alerts. These instructions may feel counterintuitive, like driving a different route or going against typical traffic rules, but it’s crucial to follow instructions.
Things can also change during an emergency, so be sure your phone is charged and your sound is on so you can pay attention to live alerts in real time.
