The City of Brownsville is reminding residents, especially those who are new to the community, to sign up for the City’s Emergency Alert System and to update their contact information whenever they change phone numbers or devices.
The Emergency Alert System allows the City to quickly share important information during emergencies and other significant incidents that may impact public safety or daily life. Notifications are delivered through multiple channels, including text messages, email, pagers, and voicemail, giving residents the flexibility to receive alerts in their preferred format.
Emergency notifications may include evacuation orders, shelter-in-place instructions, boil-water advisories, and other urgent safety messages. The system also provides updates on major non-emergency situations, such as traffic disruptions or ongoing police and fire activity that could affect specific areas.
Enrollment is free, though standard text messaging or data rates may apply depending on a resident’s service provider.
