Alert Winter Springs

Residents can register up to five separate locations to receive alerts. These locations are static and based on the addresses saved in your profile. You'll receive alerts for any of these registered locations if they fall within an affected area identified by the National Weather Service (NWS). Rest assured, these alerts are not based on your current dynamic location.

Depending on your phone and provider, you may receive State and National alerts, such as Amber Alerts.  These alerts are done through a Federal network.  Locally based alerts will come from this service.
