NORTH LAS VEGAS FIRE DEPARTMENT

URGES RESIDENTS SIGN UP FOR REVERSE 911

 

 

North Las Vegas, Nevada – The North Las Vegas Fire Department will be hosting an enrollment for the reverse 911 system. This system, in conjunction with our other emergency alert mediums, is designed to inform the community of critical information in case of an emergency. The system does NOT replace any current systems for emergencies to include calling 911. The reverse 911 actually allows those registered to be informed of critical information via text or home phone, should a significant emergency arise. North Las Vegas Explorers and Firefighters will be in the community July 30 and 31, and August 2, 2016, at local convenience and grocery stores and community events, educating our residents of the program. You may register at http://sonevada.onthealert.com

 

How does Southern Nevada on the Alert work? Individuals submit phone numbers and e-mail addresses to the Southern Nevada on the Alert system. The system then extracts the contact information determined by a circle or area drawn on the Southern Nevada on the Alert map. The system then launches a prerecorded message by calling, emailing or sending a text message to those contacts that fall within the defined area (based on the address used when signing up).
