Emergency Notification System

Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority has implemented a new enhanced emergency notification system. This system allows us to CALL YOU to alert you to an emergency in your area. The system uses phone numbers in the 911 database. Those numbers are traditional or hardwire phone lines. Our new system allows you to enter additional information into our emergency notification system to be called if there was an emergency in your area. There is no cost to you for this service and the information you enter is protected. (please review our privacy statement below).

With our new system you can enter your cell phones, a text device, email address, fax number, or work phone number. In addition, you can sign up to receive an alert at multiple addresses within our County. If you would like to sign up for alerts at your home address but also at your work address, our system will allow you to do that. You pick where, you pick how.

The Emergency Notification system will be utilized in emergency situations. Emergencies are defined as imminent or potential threats to life and / or property. Emergencies may include but is not limited to the following;

     Missing endangered child (amber alert)
     Missing endangered adult
     Flood
     Wild fire
     Police activity that would require you to evacuate or to take shelter
     Natural gas leak
     Severe threatening weather (rotation in clouds, large hail with cloud rotation, tornado warning)
