Albany Countywide Alerts
Get alerted about emergencies and other important community news by signing up for our Emergency Alert Program. This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.
**Please note that there are options that can be selected to only get alerts for categories that you select. If you do not wish to get "wind" event notifications, please deselect the box that correlates to wind.
Additionally, you can select a "quiet period" designated by you, during which you will not receive alerts. For example: you can select not to be notified between the hours of 9pm and 6am (or any hours of your choosing).
