Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are separate from the Everbridge Emergency Alert Program. Opting out of Everbridge notifications will not stop WEA messages from being delivered to your mobile device.

WEA messages are sent by authorized government agencies through participating wireless carriers and may include:

• Tornado Warnings
• Flash Flood Warnings
• Extreme Weather Warnings
• Local Emergency Information
• AMBER Alerts
• Presidential Alerts

Wireless Emergency Alerts appear similarly to text messages and are accompanied by a distinctive alert tone and vibration.
