How Emergency Alerts Work?
The process begins when the Town of Durham issues a message about a potential safety hazard or concern. Messages will be sent to all standard voice and text communication devices, including land line phones, mobile phones, e-mail and more. If you don't confirm reciept of the message, the system will try to reach your next contact number or device you entered into the system.
NOTE: The system will continue trying to contact you until it receives a confirmation from you.
