Reverse 911 Phone Notifications

Reverse 911 is a vital tool the City of Temecula employs to deliver notifications to all residents and businesses affected by an emergency. It is so named because rather than the public dialing 911 in an emergency, this system allows the police to do the "reverse" to inform the public of a known hazard.

The City of Temecula strongly suggests all residents and business owners register their cell phone and/or VoIP (software-based telephone) numbers within the Reverse 911 directory to receive important notifications during an emergency. All landline phone numbers are automatically enrolled in the Reverse 911 system and do not need to be registered.
