Santa Fe, NM – May 23, 2012 - The Santa Fe Regional Emergency Communications Center (RECC) has instituted an improved Emergency notification system. This system will allow the RECC to send Emergency voice, text or email notification messages to residents and businesses within the City and County of Santa Fe. It will be used by emergency response personnel to notify homes and businesses at risk or in close proximity of emergency events and/or actions (examples: an evacuation resulting from hostage situation or natural disaster). This system will not notify you of events such as a missing person, neighborhood watch group meeting, or road closure.

The system utilizes the Santa Fe County area 9-1-1 database provided by the local telephone company, which contains both listed and unlisted landline telephone numbers. If you do not have a landline or prefer to be notified by email or text you can register those telephone numbers and/or email addresses for the system to use. Each number and/or email provided will be added to the database, and you will receive a confirmation message by email at the address entered once you have successfully registered. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.

To register please visit SantaFe911.onthealert.comto enter the Self-Registration Portal and provide the desired information.

This system is for emergencies only and is separate from notification systems like Nixle. This system is also TTY/TDD capable.
