| Recently the Calvert County government have changed the emergency notification system for the county on July 4, 2013. Most residents are familiar with the Code Red emergency calls that you receive on your landline phone notifying you of and emergency. This system is no longer in operation.
There is a new Calvert County ALERT system which participates need to sign up for. If interested in receiving these alerts please go to the Calvert County website at http://www.co.cal.md.us/. Here one the lower left corner of the page you can click on the Emergency Alerts heading and sign up. You can receive messages now by text, email, and fax along with or instead of phone or cellphone. If you prefer to sign up via phone you can contact the County Government at (410) 535-1600 ext. 2638.
This system is very important and all residents are encouraged to sign up. You will be notified if there are outages in your area, amber alerts, tropical storm warning, severe thunderstorms, evacuations and more. |
