NEW, ALERT TAMPA PROGRAM
Hurricane seasons
starts June 1st and we want you to be prepared and
in the know. Just released, "The
City of Tampa can now send urgent text messages and
email alerts to residents and businesses. Emergency
personnel will use Alert Tampa to notify citizens
of mandatory evacuations, boil water orders,
searches for missing persons and other critical
incidents. Subscribers can also choose to receive
informational alerts that affect their
neighborhoods, such as, emerging crime trends,
information on sexual predators in the area, street
closures for planned events and garbage day pick up
changes. Alert Tampa subscribers can access the
system’s web site to update their information or
cancel at anytime. The new system will
replace Reverse 911, which only uses voicemail to
contact citizens.
Registering for the Alert Tampa is free and
citizens who live or work in the city are
encouraged to sign up at
www.tampagov.net/alerttampa.
