One of the key factors in saving lives and property during Firestorm 2007 was the mass notification system, known to most people as Reverse 911.
The County of San Diego is expanding this system to include cell phones and e-mail addresses. People who live in the county, which includes all 18 cities and unincorporated areas, can register their cell phones and e-mail addresses for emergency notifications by visiting www.alertsandiego.org.
Residents are able to register multiple cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses by reopening the Web page. Once registered, it will take up to 24 hours for the information to be updated into the county's mass notification system.
AlertSanDiego will provide emergency alerts to your cell phone and e-mail address, including evacuation notices. This is in addition to the calls received by those who have landline phones.
If a resident has registered a cell phone number with the city of San Diego's Reverse 911 system than that information is automatically shared with the county's cell phone registry. However, computer users must register their e-mail addresses with the county's system.
Please note that while the county's mass notification system is considered effective and efficient, you should not wait or rely exclusively on a call for evacuation directives. If you think you are in danger, you should evacuate immediately.
