The City of Montrose is implementing a NEW Emergency Alert System. It can send texts, make phone calls to landlines and cell phones, as well as send emails. To sign up for these notifications please provide the following information. You may drop a note in the drop box (please write very clearly), or email the city office at montrose@goldenwest.net.
If you signed up for the previous text-only system, please submit the info below again.
**************************************************
First Name:
Last Name:
Street (ie, Kluckholm, 1st Ave, etc)*:
List up to three phone numbers you want contacted in order of priority and whether you want a call and/or text to that number. If it reaches you at the first number, it will not continue to call the remaining numbers, so list them in the order you want it tried.
List up to two email addresses you want notifications sent to.
And if you live in the floodplain Yes or No.**
****************************************************
*Only need your street name, not full address. This may be used to send messages to only residents on certain streets. For example, if a water main breaks and only residents on Walker are impacted, only those residents on Walker would get the notification.
**During a flood I plan to send major announcements out to all, but may at times only send messages specific to people in the floodplain to keep costs down and to not overwhelm those who don't need the updates.
NOTE: Once you receive your first text alert message, you will receive a second message asking you to reply YES if you want to continue to receive texts from the City of Montrose. If you do not reply YES you will not receive any future text messages.
As there is a cost associated with each message sent, I will not be sending test messages out.
Facebook and the city website (cityofmontrosesd.com) will continue to be used for most information. However, in the event of an emergency, this new system will allow more people to get the message quickly.
Do not post your information on Facebook. Put it in the drop box or email Montrose@goldenwest.net. Thanks!!
