Pitkin Alert Action Required

This is a notification from PitkinAlert:

Hello - Thank you for your participation in our Pitkin Alert notification system. I'm writing today to ask you to take a few minutes to update your account (at pitkinalert.org) before the end of this month, as our current 'Alert Subscription' categories will expire on October 1^st.  If you do not subscribe to the new categories, you will not receive alerts after Oct. 1st!

Pro Tips and Considerations 

• ·         If you previously received an email from me, or you are receiving multiple errors when you try to login, you will need to set up a new account. Ignore all the login information and just click the 'Sign Up' link at the top of the page.  Usernames are case sensitive and have to be unique, so you may have to tweak your new one (add a number or adjust upper/lower case letters). If you are set on using a particular username, call or email us and we'll remove your old account.
• ·         For Emergency Alerts, we will send alerts to all contact methods you provide. Community, School and Business Alerts will only be sent via text and email, so don't be afraid to put a 'call' contact on your list for those rare emergencies.
• ·         Set up your delivery methods from least obtrusive to most (text, email, app…then phone call). Each alert will ask you to confirm receipt – if you confirm, the system will stop trying to reach you.  (i.e. If you confirm the text, it will not try to send an email or ring a phone)
• ·         This system requires you to select two delivery methods. If you only want one, go ahead and set it up with two then contact us to have one removed.

Another new source to find all public alerts is our 'Pitkin Alert' Facebook page. Also, we are now offering the opportunity to receive Emergency Alerts in Spanish only, and the pitkinalert.org web page can be set to appear in Spanish as well. Despite the Basalt Alerts yesterday, from now on you will receive alerts in Spanish only if you've selected that subscription category, but please spread the word so everyone across our Valleys can be informed.

If you run into any problems or have any questions, please call our helpline at 970-429-6183 or email alerthelp@pitkin911.org and we will answer as we are able. The Pitkin County Regional Emergency Dispatch Center takes great pride in providing all of you timely and accurate information through Pitkin Alert – thank you again for participating and for updating your account.
