Mobile Phone Numbers Added to the Alert Southlake Database

Due to enormous resident feedback from the February 2021 winter storm, the City of Southlake added all mobile phone numbers that are billed to Southlake addresses to Alert Southlake, our emergency notification system. All of these users will begin receiving emergency communications issued by the City of Southlake by text message, followed by a phone call if the user does not confirm receipt of the message. 

Adding these numbers will help us reach all residents with emergency notifications. It's important to know:

• Previously input user preferences will be saved from year to year. 
  Residents who have already opted in will continue to receive alerts in accordance with their selected preferences. There is no need to update the existing account. 
  
• Residents who have already opted in will continue to receive alerts in accordance with their selected preferences. There is no need to update the existing account.

• If users notice a change in service, please call the Office of Emergency Management at 817-748-8903 to correct any issues.
