Emergency Notification System

The Cariboo Regional District uses VoyentAlert! as its platform for emergency alerts and notifications. This service is free, easy to use, and - most importantly - secure. With this system, we can provide access to trusted, timely, and accurate information about emergency incidents impacting your property.

To be notified when disaster strikes, you need to sign up for the Cariboo Chilcotin Emergency Notification System.

We use VoyentAlert! to notify you about emergency events or major service disruptions impacting you, such as Evacuation Alerts or Orders issued in response to floods, wildfires, and other disasters and Critical Service Advisories and notices for affected CRD water systems.

Municipalities in the CRD may also use the system to issue emergency alerts and service notices for their community.

Our emergency notification system works across multiple devices. You can be notified on your mobile device, computer, or landline when an emergency impacts you. Download the VoyentAlert! app through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to directly manage your information and receive push notifications through the app.

List important addresses to receive notifications about emergencies impacting other places, including your home, work, school, cabin, or a relative's address.

How it works

When an evacuation order, evacuation alert, or other emergency notification is issued by the Cariboo Regional District or a member municipality, you will receive a notification through all your listed contact methods if you have chosen to be notified about alerts for a specific address point.

You can also register multiple notification locations, such as for work, school, a secondary property, or family member's home. If you choose to these as notification locations, you will also be notified when emergency notifications are published for these areas.

You will not receive a notification unless you have a registered location in an impacted area.

Unsubscribing from VoyentAlert!

Leaving the platform and deleting your information is easy. First, you will need to login and select the "My Profile" button from the menu in the top left corner of the screen.

Once you are in the "My Profile" screen, select the "Unsubscribe" button. This will unregister you from the system. Once completed, you will not receive any alerts or notifications from the Cariboo Chilcotin Emergency Notification System.
