AlertMarin is the county's primary system to alert residents of an urgent need to evacuate, shelter in place, or take some other protective action. On Saturday, March 23, the County’s Office of Emergency Management will conduct a countywide test with a 10:00 am notification sent to opted-in cell phones, landlines, and emails of those registered for AlertMarin.org. All who live or work in Marin County are encouraged to sign-up to receive emergency alerts ahead of the test. Those already registered are asked to sign-in and manage their account by verifying their contact information is up to date. Once a person registers with AlertMarin, information can be updated at any time about the registrant’s contacts, a child’s school, a workplace, or a relative’s home. It only takes about 10 minutes to register for a service that could save your and your families life in the event of a major disaster.
