Ready Notify PA
ReadyNotifyPA - Find Out First!

ReadyNotifyPA is a system that helps local officials in Southeastern Pennsylvania send emergency text alerts and other important notifications to you quickly. ReadyNotifyPA can send these to your cell phone, pager, BlackBerry, PDA and/or E-mail account. You decide how you’d like to be notified. These alerts are free; however, your cellular provider may charge for text messaging.

Receiving text messages is easy and not just for kids. You will receive emergency alerts and may choose to receive other alerts, such as weather warnings, transportation delays and crime information. Other alert options may also be available in your county.

You choose the county or counties – Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia – that will send you alerts. Pick the county or counties where you spend most of your time – it can be where you live, work or play. Gloucester County, New Jersey is also a part of this alert network.
