The City of Ottawa, in partnership with the Ottawa Police Service, has launched Ottawa Alert ottawa.ca/OttawaAlert – a new public emergency notification system designed to keep our communities informed during emergencies.

 

What is Ottawa Alert? Ottawa Alert delivers urgent notifications directly to your phone, email, or mobile app, providing real-time updates, safety instructions, and public safety alerts. The City of Ottawa and Ottawa Police Service will share critical safety instructions, emergency updates, and recovery information – like shelter openings or dangerous areas to avoid after severe events.

 

It’s free, bilingual, accessible, and available in 30+ languages.

How to Register: Visit Alertable or download the Alertable app on the Apple Store or Google Play Store. Choose the alerts you’d like to receive and your geographic area.
