Emergency Notification System

When events happen the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) issue alerts that notify those in affected areas so that they can take steps to protect themselves and their family, loved ones, friends and pets.

The SRD offers a free emergency notification service to keep residents, visitors and businesses informed of emergencies in a timely manner by both text message and voice calls to landlines and cell phones to people who subscribe to receive them.

The SRD switched to Alertable as our public emergency mass notification service on May 2nd, 2022.

If you had an account with our previous system Connect Rocket, your information will be transferred into Alertable.

The Alertable apps are free and can be downloaded from your mobile phone, tablet, computer, or smart speaker. Downloading the app is not mandatory though, even without the app you will still receive phone calls and text messages. Alertable will cover every community in the SRD, precisely the same way Connect Rocket did.
