In recognition of Emergency Preparedness Week, the City of Yellowknife is pleased to announce the official launch of Voyent Alert!, a new emergency notification system designed to keep residents informed, safe, and prepared during critical situations.
Voyent Alert! provides real-time alerts about wildfires, severe weather, and other local emergencies that matter to you—whether they impact your home, your workplace, or your child's school. This system empowers residents to make informed decisions when it matters most.
Residents can choose how they want to receive alerts: via the Voyent Alert! mobile app, text message, email, or automated phone calls. You can register as many locations as you like, and notifications will be sent only when those areas are affected. Sign up now to ensure you’re always in the know—no matter where you are:
- Download the Voyent Alert! App from the App Store or Google Play
- Register online at register.voyent-alert.com
Key Benefits:
- Free, fast, and easy to use
- Anonymous registration — no personal information required beyond a location and contact method
- Receive alerts for multiple locations
- Choose your preferred communication channel
- Available in Yellowknife, Ndilǫ, and Dettah
Note: The City’s existing email emergency notification system will remain in effect until the end of 2025. All residents are encouraged to transition to Voyent Alert! as soon as possible to avoid missing any future emergency alerts.
