El Centro Alerts Signup
Stay informed! Sign up to receive critical emergency alerts, severe weather warnings, and timely updates on special events and road closures that may directly affect you and your loved ones.
The City of El Centro is dedicated to keeping our community informed with the latest information. Our notification system is designed to provide you with real-time alerts, ensuring you receive the most up-to-date information for both emergency and non-emergency situations.
Types of Alerts You Can Expect
- Emergency Alerts: Immediate notifications for critical events that require action, such as evacuations, shelter-in-place orders, or boil water advisories.
- Non-Emergency Alerts: Updates on significant incidents like prolonged transportation disruptions, major police or fire activities, as well as special events and road closures that may impact daily life.
Our commitment to providing current and relevant alerts means this system will only be used for urgent updates—not routine information. Depending on the type of incident and location, notifications may also be sent to your landline (if available).
Why We Ask for Your Address
Adding your address allows us to tailor alerts to your specific area, so you only receive notifications that are pertinent to you.
Important Information
These alerts are free of charge, though standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.
