Public Announcements



The Upson County Citizen Alert Notification System will Go-Live at 8:00am on Friday March 1, 2013.  Read below for details about the system and how you can sign up to receive notifications.

What is the Citizen Alert Notification System and how do I sign up?
The Upson County Board of Commissioners would like to introduce to its citizens a new "Citizen Alert Notification System".  This system is designed to contact all citizens in the event of an emergency (severe weather, etc.) or certain non-emergency situations such as road closures, utility outages, etc..  The success of this program relies on YOU.  Please sign up (opt-in) and provide current contact information in order that you may receive alert notifications by the method you choose.  All citizens that have a land line telephone will receive Emergency alerts automatically without having to sign up but you must sign up if you want to receive any non-emergency notifications or add/change the method in which you are contacted (cell phone, text message, email, etc.).  Your information will be kept strictly confidential and there is absolutely no cost to you to sign up or to receive notifications.  Click HERE for more information and to begin the sign up process.
