Atlantic County is further enhancing its emergency notification capabilities by partnering with Regroup to deliver alerts for severe weather, public safety and public health emergencies, evacuations, non-weather emergencies, and more.

“Timely communication is critical during any type of emergency,” stated County Executive Dennis Levinson. “With the use of our emergency notification system, we can deliver life-saving information in a quick and efficient manner to a wide audience or a targeted population.”

The advanced platform is able to send registered participants alerts via text message, voice message, email, and more. Registrants may choose their preferred method(s) of distribution.

“As technology improves, we continue to make upgrades to further assist and benefit our residents,” added Levinson. “This service is also recommended for area businesses and second homeowners with Atlantic County properties.”

Registrants are asked to provide their property address so that messages may be more easily targeted to geographical location. There is no fee to register or participate, however, standard text messaging and other charges may apply.

Those who previously registered with the county’s system do not need to re-register, however, they will need to create a password on the new portal. They will also have additional alert options from which to choose.  

First time registrants and existing users may visit https://www.atlanticcountynj.gov/emergency-alerts to establish and update accounts. An email account is required.
