When disaster strikes, you may have only a short time to make what might be a life or death decision. We cannot predict exactly where or when they will occur, but we can take precautions to minimize the danger.  Knowing that a disaster has happened and what steps to take to keep you and your family safe is critical. Most injuries and deaths happen when people are unaware or uninformed.  Escambia County utilizes a variety of measures to provide warnings to our citizens. 



The Alert Escambia emergency notification system provides updates during local emergencies and disasters to participating Escambia County residents via text message, email or phone call. This free service can provide lifesaving information in times of emergency, distributed by the Escambia County Division of Emergency Management.

Click the Alert Escambia icon on the right to sign up. You'll be able to select your preferred method of communication when signing up for the alerts. 

For technical support, email alertescambia@myescambia.com and you will receive a response within two business days. 



In the event of an emergency, Escambia County's website will be updated regularly with the latest information on the emergency including event status, what you can do to keep safe, and any disaster services available.
