Emergency Notification
The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority's dispatch center, MetCom is using the Arapahoe County Everbridge Citizen Alert system to let you know about issues that may affect your safety. The notification system allows public safety agencies in Arapahoe County to contact residents in seconds so you learn about emergencies right away.
The Citizen Alert system can deliver messages to you any way you want—on your home phone, cell phone, email, and more. The process begins when an Arapahoe or Douglas County public safety agency issues a message about a potential safety hazard or concern. The notification system dials your main contact number or sends an email. If you don't confirm receipt of the message, the system will try to reach your second contact number or email. The system will continue trying to contact you until it receives a confirmation from you.
