Emergency Alerts
Wildfire, flood, boil-water, severe weather. The City sends alerts only when something genuinely needs your attention. No marketing, no filler.

Get the alert in your hand, not the news the next day.
Silvermere Alert is the City’s notification system. Free, opt-in, opt-out any time. Sent only when something actually changes (evacuation order, boil water, road closure that affects you). Never used for marketing.
