LeboALERT Will Help Keep Residents Safe, Informed

Mt. Lebanon has launched LeboALERT, a free service that automatically will notify residents of emergencies within minutes. LeboALERT also can provide information about municipal programs, services and events to people who choose to receive non-emergency alerts.

During an emergency situation, residents will receive short pre-recorded messages on their telephones describing the nature of the event, telling them what precautions to take and letting them know where to go for more information. Emergency alerts will be sent about anything that has the potential to be dangerous—gas leaks, serious weather conditions, hazardous materials spills or urgent crime issues.

No registration is necessary to receive emergency alerts.

Residents and non-residents may sign up to receive short non-emergency messages about special events, cancellations, public documents, job openings, planned utility work, volunteer opportunities and other things. They may choose to be notified by e-mail, text message or (in some cases) phone and may change their options as often as they wish.

Registration is required for non-emergency notifications.
