Sign Up for Emergency Notifications with MonroeAlert

MonroeAlert is a new county-wide system that keeps residents informed via a text message, email, phone call or the mobile app. When roads close, a water main breaks, or public safety incidents occur, residents no longer need to search social media for accurate updates. MonroeAlert provides clear, unified information from the County and the City so people know what’s happening and what to do.
