The City of Atlanta has introduced an upgraded version of its emergency notification system, NotifyATL, to better serve residents during critical incidents. This announcement was made by the Mayor's Office of Emergency Preparedness, emphasizing the importance of effective communication in emergencies. Residents are urged to register for the system by texting NOTIFYATL to 24639, even if they have used the service before. The new platform allows for customized alerts, including tornado warnings, flood alerts, and community news. Additionally, users can easily manage their profiles, update their addresses if they move, and opt-out if they relocate outside Atlanta.

The enhancements aim to improve connectivity between the city and its residents, ensuring timely information during emergencies. The registration process is crucial for residents to receive the most relevant alerts tailored to their needs. For more information, residents can visit the NotifyATL website.
