Emergency Alerts

Links to emergency notification systems for the five-county Houston region are given below, divided by category. Some jurisdictions or schools do not offer email or phone emergency alerts. In that situation, please use your county’s service. Be aware that not all alert systems will announce every emergency. Some systems are intended only for emergency closure information, and will not provide disaster information. Always rely on multiple sources of information, including local media. Be aware that technical difficulties could prevent the timely receipt of text message or email alerts.

All systems are administered by the jurisdiction listed, or that jurisdiction’s contractor. The the Houston Urban Area Security Initiative does not administer any of the systems listed below and cannot address technical questions, registration issues, or other problems.

Information on this site is limited to systems with registration forms or documentation accessible online. If your jurisdiction or school does not have a link to an emergency notification system, one may still be available. Contact your local Office of Emergency Management for more information.

If you live outside the Houston region, please contact your local Office of Emergency Management to get details about Reverse 9-1-1 and emergency alerts for your area.

Preparedness Is Priceless

Test

This website provides emergency preparedness information for a five-county region in Southeast Texas. The represented jurisdictions include Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, and Montgomery Counties, as well as the Cities of Galveston, Houston, LaPorte, and Pasadena.

This site is designed to provide quick access to local and national information on disaster preparedness. The Ready Houston program has produced videos on a variety of topics related to emergency preparedness. Local agencies provide training that helps citizens prepare. And our partners are also a valuable source of information.

The program is a localized version of FEMA's Ready.gov program. The goal of Ready Houston is to tailor emergency preparedness messages to the unique hazards faced in the greater Houston region.
