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 communication channel(s). Smart alerting capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when a communication is relevant to you or one of the locations you are tracking.
Whether you're setting up the app for the first time or reactivating a dormant app, getting started is easy and ensures you stay informed during emergencies:

Currently the "Offload Unused Apps" feature on an iPhone, and "Deep Sleep" feature on Android will cause your app to uninstall if the app goes unopened for a period of time. To prevent your Voyent Alert! app from uninstalling on your phone, due to not opening the application (because there hasn't been an emergency or important notice issued), please watch this video. This is critical to ensuring you still receive important alerts.
Registration is anonymous. Locational information from your tracked locations is only used to determine its proximity to an alert event and to provide critical context within the communications (such as distance and direction).
