Rowan County Emergency Management and the City of Salisbury are debuting “RoCo Alerts” to keep residents up to date, in real time, about local, emergency and non-emergency situations.
RoCo Alerts is administered by Everbridge, the parent company of Nixle, Salisbury’s former mass notification system. Residents who currently receive Nixle alerts will continue to receive notifications, but in some instances, the sender telephone number will be different.
RoCo Alerts, available free, will allow county residents to receive alerts via text, email, voice calls, and through the Everbridge app, in the event of incidents such as emergencies, road closures, inclement weather events, safety alerts and water main breaks.
To register, residents should visit rowancountync.gov/RoCoAlerts or salisburync.gov/RoCoAlerts. or download the Everbridge app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Search “RoCo” or “Rowan” once you download the app.
This partnership ensures all county citizens have the ability to receive important information from a singular source.
Standard messaging rates will apply.
