Overview
Personal preparedness is everyone’s responsibility. Emergencies and disasters can occur anywhere, at any time. It is your responsibility to ensure you are prepared if an emergency or disaster occurs. Emergency alerts are issued to provide you with critical information about an immediate threat, where it is occurring, and what action you need to take.

Receiving alerts
Make sure your mobile device is capable of receiving alerts.
Given the importance to health and safety, it is not possible to opt out of receiving alerts.
Repeating alerts
If you are receiving identical alert message multiple times, first check if another app on your device is notifying you of the same alert. For example, you may be receiving the same alert through an app such as The Weather Network or from your local authority.
If you are receiving the same alert message repeatedly, check your device's notification settings. If you're unsure of where to look, search online for your device's user manual or contact your wireless service provider for help.
