Sign up for SEPA Emergency Alerts

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Task Force is implementing an emergency notification service for Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties as well as Philadelphia.

Sign up at www.ReadyNotifyPA.org:

ReadyNotifyPA is a system that helps local officials in Southeastern Pennsylvania send emergency text alerts and other important notifications to you quickly. ReadyNotifyPA can send these to your cell phone, pager, BlackBerry, PDA and/or E-mail account. You decide how you’d like to be notified. These alerts are free; however, your cellular provider may charge for text messaging.

Receiving text messages is easy and not just for kids. You will receive emergency alerts and may choose to receive other alerts, such as weather warnings, transportation delays and crime information. Other alert options may also be available in your county.
