The Office of Emergency Management (OEMHS) has launched a new Alert Montgomery system hosted by Everbridge effective Wednesday October 15, 2014. When registering for a new account, if the user chooses to download the Everbridge Mobile Member App, they will be asked to "Allow the app to access their information such as contacts, photos and location." While Montgomery County is not using these features of the app, the user must allow the app to access this information in order to receive alerts using the Mobile Member App.
