RAVE Alert System - Emergency Community Notification
The RAVE Alert System is the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Public Safety Division's official emergency alert and notification system. RAVE Alerts, a system procured for the 81 public safety answering points (PSAPs) in Arizona, will be used by 9-1-1 centers to notify the public during emergencies, including incidents of severe weather, public safety concerns, traffic alerts, missing persons, evacuations, etc.
The RAVE emergency alerts are a free service that allows you to sign up online to receive customized alerts via text message, email, and voice message.
In addition to emergency alerts, you can also choose to receive customizable community notifications. These include notifications about severe weather, safety, health, utility disruptions, and more. This service is provided by GRIC at no cost to the public; however, message and data rates may apply.
Who can sign up for alerts?
Alerts powered by Smart911 is available to anyone who lives, works, travels through, or visits the Gila River Indian Community. The address can be your home location, work location, or any other location you care about.
How often will I receive alerts?
The frequency for which you receive alerts depends on the addresses you provide and the types of alerts you select to receive as well as the frequency of actual emergencies. Emergency alerts will only be sent when there is an immediate threat to life and/or property. Community notifications will be sent when the criteria for sending an alert are met.
This system is not intended to bombard you with information. GRIC Public Safety will only send you alerts about the information you select to receive. To change your alert settings, log in here or visit smart911.com and edit your preferences.
Will my information be disclosed or shared?
No, your information is private and will not be used or distributed in any manner. The information that you provide is exempt from public disclosure and will be used for emergency purposes only.
