Sign Up for Red Rose Alerts

The City of Lancaster uses Red Rose Alerts to send emergency alerts and important information to residents, businesses, and utility customers. This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as utility issues, service cancellations, severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.

Once you opt-in, you will receive time-sensitive messages wherever you specify, such as your home, mobile or business phones, email address, text messages and more. You decide where and how you receive messages.

You can receive alerts through the following methods:

Red Rose Alerts are also sent for emergency notifications, using data sourced from publicly available White and Yellow pages information and/or Wireless Emergency Alerts, authorized by FEMA.
