The (Organization name) uses FlashAlert, an Internet-based system for delivering changes in schedule (such as snow closures), to the news media.

Message delivery has been extended directly to the public through FlashAlert Messenger. You may self-register and manage up to three home or office email and/or cell phone text message addresses - and your Twitter address, too - and receive emergency information just minutes after we post it, at no cost to you. Twitter has special arrangements with the cell companies that enable their messages to go out fast and reliable, so we encourage people to use Twitter for FlashAlert text messages if you have an account.

To get started, go to FlashAlert.net and click on our region on the map. Choose our organization category and then our name. You start the subscription process by filling in your email address.

You may enter one or two more email or cell text addresses. After entering them, you will launch a validation message to each address. You must obtain the two-letter code in the message and post it back into your account to validate that address. This is done to make sure that your messages will reach you.

Please be aware that with the proliferation of spam and the resulting spam filters, it is impossible to guarantee message delivery. And remember that message delivery is dependent on cell companies accepting in a timely fashion the messages we send to them to send to you. Messages not accepted by cell phone companies after one hour will be deleted from the system to avoid the confusion that may be created by a late-arriving message.

All addresses registered on FlashAlert will remain confidential and shall not be released to any person or organization. Once a year, you will receive an email at your registered email address asking if you wish to continue your subscription.
