mass notification solution

The emergency notification system allows Public Safety Communications or Emergency Management to quickly notify Gillespie County and City of Fredericksburg citizens of an emergency that may affect their area.


Only residents who sign up to receive the messages will be contacted. 

By registering, Gillespie County will be able to send time-sensitive, targeted messages to select groups and geographic areas via emails, text messages or phone calls. 

Citizens are encouraged to register methods of contact, such as home phone, cellular phone, and VoIP numbers, and email addresses. It is very important that citizens register all of their contact numbers to ensure that they do not miss any critical emergency notifications. You can change your selections or remove yourself from the registry by logging in and changing your selections at any time. 

The primary use of the system will be to disseminate messages pertaining to the health, safety or welfare of Gillespie County citizens and property when affected by a perceived, emerging, or imminent emergency event. With the emergency alert system, Gillespie County will be able to send emergency notifications for situations such as flash flood warnings, tornado warnings, water contamination alerts, chemical spills, and missing persons.

Gillespie County and the City of Fredericksburg have partnered with CivicReady to implement its mass notification solution.  Available from CivicPlus, a leader in integrated technology for local government, the CivicReady solution will allow Gillespie County and the City of Fredericksburg to issue urgent notifications, emergency instructions, warnings, and routine communications to subscribed citizens and visitors via email, text message, and voice alert, to keep our community safe and informed.  In the event of a local emergency, those subscribed to CivicReady will benefit from immediate, actionable information and instructions sent via their preferred notification channel.

“This technology will enable anyone who lives in the community, as well as those visiting, to receive emergency alerts and community notifications that may impact them and/or their families.   This is also a tool that can be used if you have a family member or friend living in Fredericksburg or Gillespie County and you want to be made aware of any emergencies they may be facing.   Gillespie County and the City of Fredericksburg are excited to have this tool in the toolbox to keep our community better informed of emergency situations,” stated Justin Calhoun, Emergency Management Coordinator.
