Galveston Emergency Notification System
Sign Up For The City's Emergency Notification System:
The City of Galveston is in the process of establishing an Emergency Notification System. The city's goal is to provide essential information quickly in a variety of situations including unexpected road or street closures or the need to evacuate buildings or neighborhoods due to situations like hurricanes, severe weather, abnormally high tides, and water service suspensions.
How To Sign Up To Receive These Important Communications From The City:
