General questions
- What is Riverside County’s eAlert subscription service?
eAlert is a voluntary service the county uses to provide you with email updates
and other news about topics that are important to you. All you have to do is pick
your topics and subscribe. Topics range from Board of Supervisors agendas to warnings
that are distributed during emergencies.
- How much does the eAlert service cost?
The county does not charge for eAlert. Your Internet or cell-phone provider
might assess per-message charges, depending on your plan.
- What type of devices can receive eAlert messages?
eAlert can send messages to any device that has an email address. This includes
desktop computers, pagers, cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
- Can I have eAlert send messages to more than one email address or mobile
device?
Yes. When you subscribe you can provide up to two email addresses, or cellular phone
numbers for text messages.
- Can I receive text (SMS) messages instead of email messages?
If your cellular phone, PDA, or pager can receive text messages, the providers automatically
convert email to text messages. To receive eAlert messages as text messages on your
device, refer to your provider for instructions. Check with your plan provider to
obtain the most recent method to access messages and to ensure that your cellular
phone or PDA is authorized to receive text or email messages.
- I am not receiving eAlert.
Make sure you signed up with a valid email address and replied to the confirmation
email. If you did not receive a confirmation email or did not reply to one, you
will not receive eAlert messages. Also, check to make sure a spam filter is not
blocking eAlert messages. Add the email address ealerts@riversideca.ealertgov.com
to your allowed list or list of authorized senders.
- My spam filter is blocking eAlert messages.
Add the email address ealerts@riversideca.ealertgov.com to your allowed list or
list of authorized senders.
