Stanislaus County Emergency Self Notification Disclaimer

Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services is expanding its communications system to allow the public to be contacted directly in case of a large-scale emergency and keep local citizens informed in the event of an emergency or disaster.

The Emergency Notification System is a computerized system and software program installed in the communications center. In the event of an emergency or disaster, residences and businesses within Stanislaus County can be contacted by telephone with emergency alert information. The Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services can record a message regarding a situation and send the message out to residences and businesses within a certain geographical area(s). The system will dial the telephone numbers of the selected locations and send out the pre-recorded message. When a person answers the telephone, they will hear a pre-recorded message involving the emergency. The message may contain special instructions to be followed by citizens in the area, so it is important to listen before hanging up. Emergencies are defined as situations or impending situations caused by forces of nature, accident or an intentional act that constitutes a danger of major proportions to life and property.

This added effort is intended to supplement not replace information you will receive from television, radio and other sources. Further, it should not replace individual and family emergency planning not to mention that there may be situations where direct communication from the county is simply not possible.

The telephone numbers used in the system database are maintained in a secured database by the Stanislaus County of Emergency Services for emergency notification purposes only. If you would like to receive the pre-recorded messages when emergencies occur in your residential or business area, please click on the I agree link and fill in the appropriate information.
