Get emergency notifications from SCEMD by phone, text and email.

  • Alert Types:  Notifications will be sent out when a major disaster is imminent or has just occurred, at the request of county emergency managers and various emergency situations requiring you to take personal protective actions. 

 

You cannot assume your phone number is already included in our emergency notification database.  Individuals and businesses are encouraged to add your own phone numbers directly into the system via the Community Notification Enrollment Page for SCEMD.  The secure, customized CNE page allows our residents and businesses to add or update their contact information to ensure they will be included when an emergency, general, or weather message is sent – unlisted numbers, mobile numbers, TD/TTY requirements can all be entered.
