Temecula ALERT
This geo-targets city-wide mass notification system is designed to keep people who live or work in Temecula informed of important information during emergency events. The system works with landlines, cell phones, and email addresses. By registering with Temecula ALERT, time-sensitive voice messages from the City will be sent to your home, cell, or business phone.

The City of Temecula is an authorized sender of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) which sends a text warning directly to mobile devices in the case of significant event or disaster. You do not have to sign up for this system.
Emergency Alert System (EAS)
The County of Riverside has the capability to interrupt radio and television broadcasts across the media market to deliver safety instructions. The National Weather Service is the agency that most often activates the EAS system within Riverside County. Currently, this system can only refine the alert area to the entire County of Riverside, not specifically Temecula.
