Albany County boosts emergency alerts with new communication partner
Albany County is steering residents to Albany County Alerts, the Everbridge-linked warning system, with monthly tests set for the first Friday at 10 a.m.
Albany County and the City of Laramie recommend that all citizens sign up for Albany County Alerts, the county’s public warning system linked through Everbridge. The push is aimed at getting urgent notices out faster across a county that stretches from Laramie to Rock River and Centennial, where weather, road, fire, and evacuation conditions can change quickly.
Albany County Emergency Management & Homeland Security plans for, coordinates and supports emergency preparedness, and the alert system is one of the main tools it uses to reach people when timing matters. County guidance also includes evacuation guidance and a Ready, Set, GO! preparedness page.
Residents who want to make sure they receive emergency messages need to sign up for Albany County Alerts rather than assume they will see a notice on social media or hear it elsewhere. The county’s Public Warning System page links directly to the alert service, and every citizen should enroll.
Albany County Emergency Management also tests local emergency alert systems on the first Friday of each month at 10 a.m. The outdoor warning sirens mean something life-threatening is happening and people should seek shelter and take protective action.
