Boone emergency alerts run through Smart911 and Rave
Boone County Joint Communications uses Smart911 and Rave Alert so residents can receive official emergency and safety notifications.
Emergency alerts are worth setting up before the siren or road closure happens.
Smart911 lets Boone County residents add information that can help first responders during a 911 call. Rave Alert lets Boone County 911 and Emergency Management send notices about emergencies or disasters.
The examples are everyday serious: road closures, vehicle crashes, hazardous-material spills, missing persons, and similar public-safety updates. A resident can choose topics and contact methods through the Smart911 profile.
This helps newcomers, renters, students, and rural households because the alerts follow the county public-safety system, not just one city department. Use the Smart911 and Rave page for signup details, and use Joint Communications for non-emergency administrative questions.
