Stay Connected
Two email sign-ups and a handful of public channels. Pick the ones that fit how you want to hear from the City.
Two email sign-ups
The City offers two distinct email subscriptions. They cover different things and are managed separately, so most people sign up for both.
City News email
General updates for people who want the City in their inbox.
Silvermere Alert
Emergency notices for your address by app, text, email, or voice.
For general news
City News email
Pick from four categories: City News & Notices, Job Postings & Volunteer, Bid Opportunities, or Airport updates. Emails arrive when something new is published in the categories you choose. One-click unsubscribe.

Silvermere Alert
Time-sensitive notifications: evacuation orders, boil-water notices, significant road closures. Free, opt-in, with app, SMS, email, or voice delivery options. Sent only when something genuinely changes, never for marketing.

Which one if I’m only signing up for one?
Sign up for Silvermere Alert first. It’s how you find out about an evacuation or boil-water notice while it’s still useful information, and it’s the only channel that reaches you reliably in an emergency. After that, the City News email covers everything that isn’t time-critical.
