Scott County Government: Alert Iowa Public Communication Tool

Press release from the Scott County Government:

July 1, 2021

*Public Release*

The Scott County Emergency Management Agency is announcing a change to our Alert Iowa public communication tool.  This system is utilized to inform our residents of emergencies such as weather or missing children (Amber Alerts).  The State of Iowa has contracted a new vendor to provide this communication tool, which will significantly enhance the opportunity for the residents of Scott County and the entire state of Iowa to be notified of emergencies.

*Important Information to Know*

As we continue to develop & plan for the full deployment of the new system, including new system enhancements, we will be offering additional public opt-in options for other emergency and public safety information feeds. 

After you’ve registered with an account, please watch for these ongoing changes.
