Sign up for Emergency Notifications

Yavapai County Emergency Notification System 

Get up-to-the-minute information and stay informed during an emergency!

Yavapai County residents are encouraged to sign up for the County’s new Emergency Notification System by RAVE Mobile Safety, including the Smart 911 app for your phone.  

The emergency notification system enhances officials’ ability to quickly communicate with the public and provide critical and time-sensitive information for emergencies such as wildfires, evacuations, floods, and missing persons to residents and businesses. By registering, you can receive alerts via cell phone by voice or text, email, home phone, business phone, and more.          

How Does It Work?

The process begins when we learn of a potential safety hazard or concern. Next, we will use the emergency notification system to send a message through your primary contact path. You choose how you want to be notified when registering.  Messages can be sent to you via SMS text and e-mail to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information.

How Do I Sign Up?

The system is easy to use. If we do not reach you on the first attempt, the system may try another phone number or alternate method of communication, such as text messaging or email. 

• Select the link below to register using your address today.  You choose whether to be notified by phone, SMS text, or email.  You will be alerted in the event of an emergency within the proximity of your address.
• An additional way you can be notified is to opt in to receive text alerts only—just text alertYAVAPAI (all one word) to 78015. You will then receive a welcome message from AlertYAVAPAI. You will be asked to provide your zip code to receive area-based alerts. You will only receive notifications if you live in the zip code that was provided during an active emergency event. 
• You can download the Smart 911 app by RAVE Mobile Safety. After you set up an account and enable notifications, go to settings and Subscription-based alerts. Then you can subscribe to alerts from the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office and select your preferred method of receiving alerts, including text message, email, or phone calls.

The success of this service relies on YOU. Having your latest contact information is the only way to ensure that we can contact you in an emergency. Please use the methods listed above and sign up – it only takes about a minute to enroll!
