City Offering Emergency “Texting” Service

October 14, 2008
As Santa Clarita approaches the one year anniversaries of the I-5 Tunnel Accident and the Buckweed Wild Fire, the City has developed a new system that will allow its residents to subscribe and receive mobile phone text alerts concerning emergencies impacting our community. Beginning today, all residents will be able to subscribe to automatically receive emergency related text alerts (eAlerts) from the City by simply texting the term “SCEMERGENCY” to 41411 from any mobile phone device and mobile service provider. 
 
For added convenience, in lieu of setting this up from your mobile phone residents can also subscribe to this service by visiting the City’s website at www.santa-clarita.com/emergency.  From there you will be able to enter your mobile phone number in the “Text Message Alerts” subscription box located on the right side of the page to set up this important service.  As with any type of texting system, residents are reminded that standard texting fees apply (typically 5 to 10 cents per text) and will be charged by your mobile phone provider.  Please know that it is the City’s sole intent to utilize the eAlert system only in times of emergency and will in no way use this system to forward any non-emergency/unsolicited messages.
 
For more information regarding the City’s new eAlert system please contact the City’s Webmaster at webmaster@santa-clarita.com
