WILLIAMSBURG LAUNCHES NEW EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
The City of Williamsburg has launched RAVE Mobile Safety as its new emergency notification system.
The new system replaces the previous one and saves the city approximately $30,000 per year.
RAVE will send emergency messages via text, email, and voice.
Text messages will come from a specific phone number or four short code numbers.
Messages from the city will always start with WBURG ALERT.
Residents previously receiving text alerts are automatically signed up; email users need to confirm via email.
Residents can sign up and customize their alerts online at williamsburgva.gov/alerts.
Users can add addresses for geo-targeted alerts, select alert types, and choose delivery methods.
The service is free from the city, but standard message and data rates may apply.
