No sign-up is needed, but you are encouraged to download the app from the Apple Store or Google Play store, or text FollowAB_EmergAlert to 21212 to sign up for text notifications.
Preparing for an Emergency
Before, during and after an emergency
You should be prepared to take care of yourself and those in your household for at least 72 hours. This allows first responders to manage the crisis and help those who need it most.
Being prepared means you know what to do, where to go and you have supplies to properly respond to emergencies. By taking simple steps to be more prepared, you can keep yourself safe and get back to your life and work sooner.
