Vic-Alert, the City of Victoria’s emergency notification system will now be powered by Alertable and will continue to inform the community of imminent emergencies or disasters that may impact Victoria, such as gas leaks or tsunamis.

Alertable is highly rated, made in Canada, and free for the public.

The City of Victoria’s system, Vic-Alert, is different from the Provincial 'Alert Ready' system. Alert Ready is used for Amber Alerts and tsunami warnings only. Emergency notifications from Alert Ready are automatically sent to compatible smart phones and news/radio and does not require subscription. The City’s Vic-Alert system is used for a wider variety of hazards and includes geographically specific information which will only be sent to those subscribed to Vic-Alert.
As of February 1, 2021, the City will be exclusively using Alertable to send Vic-Alert emergency notifications. Please ensure that you resubscribe to receive emergency notifications from the City of Victoria by visiting Victoria.ca/VicAlert <https://victoria.ca/VicAlert>. Thank you for your commitment to emergency preparedness and getting VictoriaReady.
For any questions, please contact VicAlert@victoria.ca or call 250.920.3373.
