The City of Summit has transitioned to the Rave Mobile Safety Smart911 emergency alert system. Through Smart911, the city aims to enhance its emergency communications and provide a valuable tool for residents, members of the business community, and first responders in emergency situations. The new notifications system promises to deliver accurate, timely, and comprehensive alerts, tailored to fit individual needs and situations.

The City of Summit previously used Swift Reach Network for emergency notifications until the system was acquired by Rave Mobile Safety. Citizens are required to opt-in to the new Smart911 system to continue to receive alerts.

The City of Summit strongly encourages all residents and businesses to create a Smart911 profile. Having a profile not only ensures that individuals receive emergency alerts but also helps emergency services to respond more effectively by providing them with crucial medical and location information.

For questions about the new emergency alert system, please contact pressoffice@cityofsummit.org or visit www.cityofsummit.org/smart911.

Please note, the Smart911 system is for official City of Summit emergency alerts and is separate from Nixle alerts and city website notifications.
