Choose Your Alerts

The Lamont County Alert System will issue messages about emergency alerts. This is any event which is considered an emergency related to the safety and well-being of some/all Lamont County residents. These notifications may include, but are not limited to:

• Public safety notifications, including water, fire, fog, RCMP, traffic incidents, etc.
• Specific weather watches/warnings when applicable, including flooding, smoke or drought-related (Environment Canada issues weather alerts through the Alberta Emergency Alert program). 

NOTE: the Alberta Emergency Alert program notifies all residents through their devices and email of life-threatening emergencies. All other notifications come from this program. 

We may also use this to alert you of local events such as road or bridge closures; snow clearing, road bans, County events, etc. Road closures and specific events will also be posted on Lamont County social media (Facebook and X) when relevant.

You choose one or both types of messaging you wish to receive.

You can also sign up for the Alberta Emergency Alerts system, which is alerts across Canada that appear in email, text message and emergency notification popups for life-threatening notifications and alerts (including weather, incidents, Amber Alerts/abductions, etc.).
