LANDLINE OWNERS: Landline calls are now limited to only ten life safety warning messages as of 4/6/2022.
Because of numerous calls and messages from residents giving us feedback, we have just contacted Hyper-Reach to disengage ALL advisories and watches from our emergency notification system. We are trying to help alert people, not cause alert exhaustion.
We have switched to WARNINGS only.
IMPORTANT FINAL STEP: After you sign up with your cell phone number, you will see a message at the bottom of the screen with examples of numbers you can expect to receive notifications from. It would be a good idea to save these all under HyperReach Emergency Notifications on your phone so you will know they are trusted numbers. For example, here is the message we received when we signed the EMA office up for public alerts:
“Add us to your contacts.
When you receive alerts from us via telephone, the Caller ID will show (573)410-1402, (585)419-0890, and if you signed up for text alerts, you will receive text alerts from any of the following numbers: (833)472-5378, (618)589-2255, (618)589-1337, (618)589-1351 or (585)209-5563.
Please add these numbers to your contact list.
Thank you for using Hyper-Reach.“
