Understanding NotifyLA Emergency Alerts

NotifyLA is the City of Los Angeles’ mass notification system used to provide emergency information regarding necessary protective actions, such as evacuation orders, to Los Angeles residents, businesses, and visitors. The alerts are sent in the event of emergencies or critical situations.

How Does NotifyLA Work? 

It’s a free, automated system used to reach the public via recorded phone messages, text messages, and emails. While some landline, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and cellphone numbers are automatically included in the system, it is important to make sure that you register every number at your address. In order to ensure that you receive notifications register those numbers and/or emails with NotifyLA.  Alerts are sent by targeting a specific geographic location and will only be received by the people in the area impacted by the emergency.

Why are these Messages Important?

This information keeps the public informed when a disaster occurs and provides official information on what to do to stay safe.
