REVERSE911®
Emergency Notification System
REVERSE911® is a
community notification system which is being used in
hundreds of towns and cities in the United States and is
now available in Imperial County. The system uses
computer based software to deliver recorded or email
messages to a geographic area. The messages can be in
the form of an emergency notice, a crime prevention
message, or a request for information from the community
at large. The system allows County, City or local
approved agencies to rapidly send telephone
notifications to all residents and businesses in an
affected area in the event of an emergency.
When it is activated the
system will dial every “land line” phone number
associated with a property in the defined area and play
an event-specific message that includes instructions on
what you need to do. Residents and business with only
cell phone, broadband phone service, or Voice over IP
(VoIP) phone numbers are not in the REVERSE911®
database. Imperial County citizens, who wish to be
contacted on their cell or VoIP phone, must register
those phone numbers.
Once a person registers their number online it will take
two days for it to go into effect in the REVERSE911®
database.
The incorporation of the
REVERSE911® system represents Imperial County’s
continuing commitment to providing our citizens with the
most advanced technologies available to ensure that our
local public safety is as effective as possible.
