iAlert Emergency Notification System

In 2010, the City of Irving implemented a mass notification system known as iALERT, which uses a "reverse dialing" telephone method to notify residents of critical emergency information in situations where property or human life is in danger.

The mass notification system can also provide enhanced notification capabilities based on a subscriber's preferences. This includes:


  1. Calls to home, cell or business phones
  2. Email
  3. Text messages
  4. Hearing impaired receiving devices


Register for iALERT

Visit the iAlert website and enter your contact information into the notification system. If you are unable to register online, call (972) 721-2100 . Callers will be prompted for their personal contact information.


Other iALERT Notifications

Subscribers can also choose what type of notifications they wish to receive. Notifications can be sent for air quality issues, crime alerts, power outages, road closures, mosquito control, and water outages.


Additional Information

If the City of Irving activates the system for a location that has been registered to a cellphone or land line number, the system will seek to send the emergency message to that phone.


Notification messages are initiated by the local public safety agency as one of several methods of relaying vital information to citizens.
