Lycoming County is teaming up with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s alert system “AlertPA” to provide you with up to the minute information about weather watches and warnings, health notifications, amber alerts, etc. The alerts you receive are completely up to you!
AlertPA is a system used to send out alerts and notifications to you via cell phone, pager, and/or email. In the event of an emergency, such as a terrorist attack or severe weather event, information will be quickly relayed to you on your cell phone or mobile device using your text messaging feature and/or your email account(s). (NOTE: your cell phone carrier may charge you a fee for receiving text messages)
Getting started is easy. Simply go to www.lyco.org . Under “Departments”, click on Public Safety and find the link to AlertPA. As a new user, you will need to create a password so you can access and maintain your account. You can choose as many email addresses or cell phone numbers as you like, and choose which alerts you would like to receive. It only takes a few minutes and you will be ready to receive emergency alerts.
