Alert Shoreline


Do you want to be notified about police alerts affecting your neighborhood? When a road is closed near your home? What is on the City Council’s or Planning Commission’s agenda for an upcoming meeting? Then sign up for Alert Shoreline! Alert Shoreline is the City’s new mass communication system that will provide residents with emergency notifications and community news.

You decide how you wish to be informed in an emergency – email, text, phone, or cell phone. You can also input several different addresses of places important to you, such as your home, your child’s school, and/or your work. If there is an issue near one of those locations, such as a road closure or police alert, you will be notified.

In the event of an emergency where there is an immediate danger to public safety, the City will have the capability of calling everyone that has a number listed in the White Pages whether they have registered with Alert Shoreline or not. Eventually, the City hopes to be able to notify everyone, even those with blocked numbers and mobile phones as their only phone. However, if you wish to receive any of the community alerts, you will need to register with Alert Shoreline.

When you register, you will be able to select from a range of community topics important to you to receive periodic updates. Such topics could include Aurora Corridor construction, Emergency Management, or Neighborhoods News. Alert Shoreline takes the place of the City’s current eNews system. PLEASE NOTE: If you registered on the City’s old eNews system and wish to continue to receive notifications, you MUST create a new account through Alert Shoreline.

Sign up here. If you have questions contact Management Analyst Eric Bratton 206-801-2217.
