Pottawatomie County uses the Everbridge Emergency Notification System to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from traffic accidents, fires, floods and other emergencies, to more routine announcements, such as burn bans, road closures, outdoor warning siren tests, and water utility maintenance. The National Weather Service utilizes this same system for weather watches and warnings. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred contact paths—cell phone, landline, email, and text—to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. Everbridge allows citizens to self-register and manage their own contact methods.

Residents are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts. Individuals without internet access or a computer may contact the Pottawatomie Emergency Management Department at 785-457-3358 to sign up for emergency alerts.
