What is Citizen Alert?
Receive alerts for emergencies and other important community messages by signing up for the Citizen Alert System for Iron County and surrounding cities.
This notification system enables Iron County and the cities within the county to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as unexpected road closures, missing persons, and evacuation of buildings or neighborhoods.
You will receive time-sensitive messages using whichever method you specify, such as your home, cell, or business phone, email, text message, hearing impaired receiving devices, and more. You pick where, you pick how.
Please take note that most phone voice alerts caller id will be from (435) 867-7610 , especially in an emergency. It may be a good idea to add this phone number in your contacts lists as “Citizen Alert” or something similar so that you know who it is calling you. Also, please understand this is not a phone number that you may call with questions. You must contact the agency that sent you an alert with any questions you may have.
How to Register
If you would like to participate in the public notification systems offered by the communities in Iron County, you must register below. You do not need to be a resident within Iron County, but you must have at least one address in Iron County to link to your account. This alert system is location based. That means you will only get alerts for incidents in your immediate area.
Contact Information Change
The system is only as good as the information you provide. If your cell phone, work phone or email address changes, you must go to your profile and update the information. The one exception is traditional listed landlines. If a traditional listed landline changes to another listed landline number, that information will be automatically updated annually. You may also add or remove the address you attached to your account at anytime.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have launched a new notification service that allows us to alert you to an emergency or an important community alert in your area. The system uses listed phone numbers. You may also enter additional ways of contacting you, such as cell phones, business phones, and email. The information you enter is protected and will not be used for any other purpose.
When we issue a message about a potential safety hazard or concern, messages will be sent to all standard voice and text communication devices that you have registered, including landline phones, cell phones, e-mail, text message and more. If you don’t confirm receipt of the message, the system will try to reach your second contact number or email. The system will continue trying to contact you until it receives a confirmation from you.
Residents and businesses with listed telephone numbers have already been included in the system. You may use the registration link to include additional ways to contact you. All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.
