Alert Iowa Messaging Info

April 12, 2019

Alert Iowa is a statewide mass notification and emergency messaging system. The system can be used by state and local authorities to quickly disseminate emergency information to residents in counties that utilize the system. The system is available, free of charge, to all counties, however, they are not required to use the system.

Alert Iowa will allow citizens to sign up for the types of alerts they would like to receive. The best way to receive messages is via text message. Messages may contain photo, video and audio attachments to help subscribers better understand the situation at hand, or where to find additional information.

Questions should be directed to the Fremont County Emergency Management Office, 712-374-3355 or by email at clong@co.fremont.ia.us.

Ready Iowa

State and local emergency management officials, along with the National Weather Service, stress the continued need and importance of education and preparedness for severe weather that may affect Iowans. Knowing what to do in advance can
help prevent unnecessary panic and confusion when severe weather does strike. Learn the warning signals used in your community and put together an emergency supply kit that includes a flashlight, battery operated radio, extra batteries, and
simple first aid items in a waterproof container. See www.Ready.Iowa.gov, for more information on how to create a family emergency plan and supply kit.

For more information about severe weather preparedness, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division at 515-725-3231 or visit www.Ready.Iowa.gov.
