Our community now has a resource to provide alerts about emergencies and other important Emergency Preparedness information directly to all your devices including e-mail, home phone and cell phone. Annapolis REMO uses the Alertable system to allow for multiple means of communication for both Emergency Alerts and relaying Emergency Preparedness information.

Alertable will be used to share time-sensitive information and direction related to local emergencies such as wildfires, floods, or other hazards that may occur within the Annapolis County region. Alertable is simple for people in all areas of Annapolis County to sign up and receive emergency-related alerts.

Residents and visitors in each community are encouraged to subscribe to Alertable and choose their preferred method for receiving alerts.
