Welcome to the IRIS registration process. IRIS, Immediate Response Information System, will send alerts to the communication devices you choose (your home phone, cell phone, work phone, and email) in case of impending or occurring emergencies.

IRIS will stop calling once you pick up the phone. For example, if you answer your cell phone during a red alert and you have your cell phone number as Phone Number 1, IRIS will not call Phone Number 2 or 3. Also, if you’d like to receive SMS text messages on your mobile phone, simply check the corresponding SMS field next to that phone number.

Below is an explanation of how IRIS will contact you and why.

ALERT LEVEL	IRIS WILL NOTIFY:	EXAMPLE OF ALERT:
Red Alert	Phone Number 1, 2, 3 E-mail 1 and E-mail 2 SMS	Emergency Notifications
Yellow Alert	Phone Number 1 & 2 E-mail SMS	Weather Watch Notifications
