Get Alerted of Local Emergencies from NotifyLA

NotifyLA is the official mass notification system of the City of Los Angeles, aimed at providing timely alerts to residents and businesses during emergencies. The service sends out voice messages, text messages, and emails to keep the public informed. It automatically includes landline numbers from the 911 database, but residents must register their cell phones and emails to receive notifications. The system employs geomapping technology to ensure alerts reach only those in the impacted areas, enhancing the relevance of the messages delivered. Types of notifications include early warnings, disaster alerts, evacuation notices, and public health communications.

The registration process is free, and the city assures residents that their personal information is secure and will not be shared. Despite its reliability, factors such as power outages and network congestion may affect the system's ability to reach everyone. NotifyLA represents a vital resource for the community, emphasizing the necessity of effective communication during critical incidents.
