We had a great question about how the Emergency Mobile Alerts (EMA) will affect our existing text alert service. Our text alert service 'text START to 219' is separate from the new emergency mobile alerts. Our system needs you to register and in an emergency you receive a traditional text message. The new EMA system is a lot smarter - it doesn't need you to register and it is not a text message - it actually sends the info a different way - using a lot less space on the network (trying not to be too technical here!). We will keep the text alert service running at least until June 2018 - we then should have a better idea how the new service is working and be able to make a decision on the future. Phone companies will be pushing updates out for most of the common handsets so, over time, most phones will be able to receive the new alerts.
