Alert RivCo allows emergency managers and public safety first responders to rapidly alert and warn the public in the event of emergencies. In addition to Alert RivCo, the County uses the Genasys Protect alerting app to provide an additional method to get alerts. We encourage residents to sign up for both Alert RivCo and Protect so you have multiple ways to get alerts.

 

Some cities in Riverside County have a city alerting system as well. Click on your city in the map below to see if your city has its own alerting system, and make sure you register for that system too.

To register cell phones and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) use the registration portal. Traditional landline phone numbers are automatically registered -- even if the number is unlisted.
