Register for AlertTC

AlertTC is Tulare County’s public mass notification system, designed to keep those who live or work in Tulare County informed of important information during emergency events.

  • Residents prepare to be notified of emergencies by providing their landline phones, cell phones and e-mail addresses

  • Public safety officials respond by using the system to rapidly send out messages when there is a perceived, upcoming or imminent situation that may require community action

Based on the severity of an emergency, AlertTC may be used to contact residents by one or all of the following methods: home phone, work phone, cell phone, e-mail, text message, or fax. Mass notification systems have been attributed with saving lives during the 2007 Southern California wildfires by quickly notifying residents of evacuation instructions at all hours.
