What You Can Expect:
Personalized Communications: Voyent Alert! provides informative communications. Critical information such as emergency shelter locations and preferred evacuation routes from your chosen location(s) are provided.
Select Multiple Locations: Voyent Alert! allows you to select multiple locations such as “Kids School” or “Mom’s House”. Any event or communication related to your chosen locations will be forwarded to you via your chosen communication channel.
No Message Fatigue: Voyent Alert’s smart alerting capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when the notification is a type that you have chosen to receive or the communication is for one of the locations you have selected. *Note that broadcast emergency alerts are an exception to this rule*
Communications Your Way: Receive alerts over a wide variety of communication channels including mobile apps, text/SMS alerting, email or voice calling. You can register for all or one of them! For safety purposes we recommend selecting at least 2 ways for you to receive alerts.
Privacy is Paramount: Registration is anonymous, and no information volunteered or derived is shared or used for marketing or data harvesting purposes. Locational information from your followed locations is only used to determine its proximity to an alert event and to provide critical context within the communications (such as distance and direction).
Leaving is Easy: Both mobile applications and web-based accounts are able to unsubscribe at any time via the menu icon on the top right of the screen/page. If the service isn’t working out simply click on the “Unsubscribe” button and you won’t be hearing from us again.
