MBCALERT System

During a dangerous situation in the Macon-Bibb County area, the Emergency Management Agency will use MBCALERT to notify you. When a notification about a potential emergency or disaster situation is issued, a registered participant will receive a message on all registered cell phones, land lines or email addresses. You can register up to four phone numbers, two email addresses and five physical locations.

The system will be tested each month in conjunction with the emergency sirens. Those tests happen on the last Wednesday every month at 11:00 a.m., as long as the weather is clear.

Go to the MBCALERT Registration link and follow the registration steps or call the Emergency Management Agency at 478-870-2500.
