Davis Residents: Are You Signed Up For Yolo County Alerts?

DAVIS, CA – As part of Flood Preparedness Week, Davis residents are urged to prepare for a natural or human-caused disaster - events that often occur with little to no warning, the Davis Police Department said.

Yolo County residents can register for the mass-notification system at www.Yolo-Alert.org.

Registering will allow public safety officials to text, call cell phones or landlines, or email in the event of a disaster.

Officials will only notify residents during an emergency or if help is needed to find a missing child or adult.

"Wildfires and flooding can occur rapidly, sometimes forcing evacuations, shelter-in-place orders and/or road closures. The mass notification system is a critical link for residents to immediately learn of actions they might need to take for their safety," Yolo county officials said.

The alert system allows residents to register more than one contact method , and residents choose the best notification method for them, or choose them all. Multiple locations such as work, parent or children’s school address can also be selected.
