SJReady Alerts
San Joaquin County has partnered with Everbridge to implement SJReady Alerts, a community notification system to alert residents about emergency events and other important public safety information. This system allows San Joaquin County to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, and evacuations of neighborhoods and buildings. Your information is strictly confidential.
Every second counts in an emergency. SJReady Alerts provides real-time notifications from law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, your city, and the County of San Joaquin. This system requires an opt-in to deliver the critical information you need to stay safe during disasters. Whether you live, work or play in San Joaquin County, take steps to prepare for the unexpected no matter where you are.
With SJReady Alerts, you can:
- Receive emergency alerts through text messages, phone calls, or email.
- Customize how and in what order you receive notifications.
- Monitor alerts for your workplace, travel destinations, or loved ones, including elderly family members or children away at school.
Be prepared. Sign up today and ensure you have the right information when it matters most.
