Stay informed with the *BE ALERT* Emergency Notification System. Severe weather notifications, and other urgent community alerts directly from First Responders to you. There has been a recent upgrade to the system. Existing users should have received an email regarding their change with instructions on how to complete the transition.

The *BE ALERT* system has been upgraded and tied in to Rave’s Smart911 profile system. This new platform allows for much more information to be stored and accessed by 911 if you have an emergency. Update us on anything you’d like, such as medications you are on, medical device needs, special instructions for EMS looking for your home, while keeping the notifications we offered in the past.
