Subscribers may also opt to receive non-emergency notifications related to local government services. Signing up is easy and can be done from your mobile phone, tablet, or computer. There is no fee to sign up.

You can also sign up to receive emergency notifications by text message, email, or phone call. However, these types of notifications will only relate to life threatening and imminent emergencies, and we encourage residents to download the Alertable app. Cowichan Alert notifications will also be posted on the websites and social media pages of local governments and partner agencies in the Cowichan region. We can also message you directly on Facebook Messenger. Notifications are fast, reliable, private, and easy to hear, see, and read. Choose the notification option, or combination of options, that is right for you.
