The SMC Alert system is administered by the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Services and offers any community member the ability to register to receive public alerts about emergency events, instructions during natural disasters or critical events, weather warnings, crime warnings, major road closures, traffic issues, and wildlife warnings (mountain lion sightings, etc.). Once enrolled, members will be able to tailor the types of warnings they receive, along with specific jurisdictions or cities they are interested in receiving notifications.
As we navigate this current health pandemic, coronavirus/COVID-19, it is a good reminder that San Mateo County residents and businesses can get important alerts from health experts as well as many resources to endure through the various life impacts of COVID-19.
Community members can register to receive emergency public notifications through SMC Alert; visit www.smcalert.info and click on “Register Now” or call the Office of Emergency Services at 650-363-4488 for recorded instructions about updating your SMC Alert account.
