The (Organization name) uses an Internet-based system for delivering changes in schedule, such as snow closures, to the news media.

Message delivery has been extended directly to the public through a system called FlashAlert. You are now able to self-register and manage up to five home or office email and/or cell phone text message addresses and receive emergency information just minutes after we post it, at no cost to you.

To register, go to FlashAlert.net and in the left frame, select "Subscribe to receive news from participating organizations." Enter your primary email address twice. On the next screen, under "Add an Organization," choose the [Region Name] region, then [Category Name], then [Organization Name].   Click on "Subscribe."

Below that, you can enter up to four more addresses. When you are done, click "Update Email Addresses and Send Test Messages." A verification message will be sent to each of your listed addresses.

Important: Please be aware that with the proliferation of spam and the resulting spam filters, it is impossible to guarantee message delivery, since different filters block different messages. After adding or changing email addresses, have test messages sent to verify they will pass through your mail server's filters. However, be aware that while asingle message may make it through a filter, a whole group of messages at the same time might not, appearing to be spam. Also note that if you are using a "challenge/response" system (where a human must type in a number or word), there is no way to respond to your mail server's email challenge.

All addresses registered on FlashAlert will remain confidential and shall not be released to any person or organization.

Once a year, you will receive an email at your registered email address asking if you wish to continue your subscription.
