Introducing #AlertMuskoka - powered by Voyent Alert!

In times of crisis it is important that residents have access to trusted, timely and accurate information to ensure their own safety and that of their family and loved ones. In response to this need, the Muskoka Emergency Response Committee (MERC) has chosen Voyent Alert! as the communication service provider for these kinds of events.

By downloading the Voyent Alert! app and registering, residents and visitors can select to receive notifications from a wide variety of communication channels including mobile apps, text/SMS alerting, email or voice calling.  The system will also allow you to create and track multiple locations such as “Kids School”, “Work”, “Cottage” or “Mom’s House”.   Any event or communication related to your tracked locations will be forwarded to you along your preferred communicati

on channel(s).   Smart alerting capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when a communic

ation is relevant to you or one of the locations you are tracking.

How to Register:

Registration for the service is FREE, simple and totally anonymous.
