When emergency/critical events happen, the SRD issues alerts to notify those in affected areas so the appropriate steps can be taken to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The SRD offers a free emergency notification service to keep residents, visitors and businesses informed of emergencies in a timely manner by both, text message and voice calls to landlines and cell phones to people who subscribe to receive them.
