✨The Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is pleased to announce the launch of JeffCoALert, an emergency notification system that delivers timely alerts to protect residents during critical incidents, adverse weather events, and other emergencies. ✨

JeffCoALert marks a significant advancement in the county’s emergency preparedness and response capabilities, equipping residents with essential tools to stay informed and safe in times of crisis.

Key Features of JeffCoALert:

Mobile App Accessibility: Residents can easily access JeffCoALert via the free ‘MyAlerts’ app, providing immediate access to crucial alerts without the need to register through a sign-up portal. This approach removes barriers, making the system more accessible and convenient, and expanding reach across Jefferson County.

Multilingual Support: Recognizing the diverse needs of the community, JeffCoALert offers multilingual notifications, with over 60 languages available for written alerts and more than 30 languages for spoken alerts. This feature ensures that non-English-speaking residents receive timely, clear information, enhancing safety and preparedness for everyone, regardless of language proficiency.

Multiple Alert Channels: JeffCoALert notifications can be received across multiple platforms, including the MyAlerts app, voice calls (mobile and landline), text messages, and emails, allowing residents to stay connected in the format most convenient for them and to receive the alerts most important to them as all alerts issued will be location-based.

Residents who were registered with the previous system will continue receiving alerts seamlessly without any interruption in service. Existing users can also customize their JeffCoALert preferences by logging in with the email or phone number they used for prior alerts on our website sign-up page.

JeffCoALert represents Jefferson County EMA’s commitment to leveraging technology to protect lives and ensure community resilience. By further enhancing the ability to notify and warn Jefferson County residents, it is now easier than ever for every resident to stay informed and safe.
