Public Safety Emergency Notification System

Citizen Opt-In Procedures

The Village of Wheeling announces its new Emergency Notification System, Everbridge. Everbridge is the leading global emergency notification system provider that communicates to thousands of businesses and residents within minutes of an emergency. The Village of Wheeling will be able to alert residents about emergencies such as, but not limited to, missing persons, boil orders, and other emergencies. The ability to reach residents quickly during an emergency and to warn them or provide guidance is critical. The Everbridge Emergency Mass Notification System ensures that our dispatch center will be able to react accurately and efficiently in a natural disaster or other crisis.

The new system allows us to alert you to an emergency in your area. The system currently uses your landline phone numbers, listed and unlisted, from an existing 9-1-1 database.  

The emergency messages that are sent out will automatically go to your landline phone number. You cannot opt out of receiving these important messages. You may enter additional ways of contacting you, such as cell phones, business phones, e-mail, and text messages.

Please note that other communities may use this system to alert residents about, community events, hydrant flushing, road closures, festival information, and/or other events in their area. The Village of Wheeling has opted to notify Wheeling Residents in emergencies only.
