Prince Rupert Emergency Notification Program
The City of Prince Rupert offers residents and visitors access to a subscription-based Emergency Notification Program that will deliver notification with locally specific information to subscribers in the event of a local emergency. Notifications are delivered by voice call, text message and email to those who have signed up to receive notifications. These notifications are intended to inform residents and visitors alike about incidents that could impact them. To sign up, click here.
We also invite you to download the Prince Rupert Mobile App from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. This application will also send notifications in the event of an emergency or public advisory - and users may also subscribe for notifications regarding City events, traffic impacts, and other relevant programming information.
