How will I know if a phone call, email, or text (SMS) is coming from our Alerting
System?
Email messages will come from (noreply@genasys.com) and have your Alerting
System name or identity, phone calls will come from 479-271-5738, and text/SMS
messages will use the sender ID 65513. We recommend you create a contact on your
phone with this information.
Do I need to provide an address or location?
Yes, BC Alert is location based. Not having a location in the system will prevent you
from receiving critical weather alerts, such as tornadoes, and other alerts that are
geo-targeted (i.e., location based).
Will my contact information be shared with others?
No, the information you provide will only be used by our system and local admins to
send you alerts. Your contact information will never be sold to an outside entity.
What are some reasons alerts from this alerting system may not be delivered to
me?
● Your contact information is not up to date
● You did not enable the SMS checkbox
● Your phone is off or busy for an extended period
● Your email provider may have placed the email in the spam/junk
folder. Please add (noreply@genasys.com) to your trusted mail list.
It is recommended you have more than one contact method registered.
How do I remove my information from the system?
You can unsubscribe directly from the registration portal Login to the system portal
(shown below) and go to the unsubscribe button, then follow the prompts. This will
delete your contact data from the system.
