The weather is getting warmer, and as residents look forward to summer adventures, the City of Yellowknife is reminding everyone to stay prepared for emergencies by signing up for Voyent Alert!
The City of Yellowknife will conduct a test of the Voyent Alert! emergency notification system on Friday, June 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. This test is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to keeping residents informed in the event of an emergency by delivering critical information to registered users through their preferred communication channels, including mobile app, text message, email, or automated phone call.
Residents are strongly encouraged to sign up now to ensure they receive the test message and future emergency alerts. You must be registered to receive alerts. To register, download the Voyent Alert! mobile app or visit https://register.voyent-alert.com
Voyent Alert! is free, anonymous, and requires minimal personal information. Users do not need to be physically located in Yellowknife to receive alerts. The system allows individuals to set multiple location pins for addresses that matter to them, such as homes, schools, or workplaces, and will issue alerts if those locations are affected.
The City invites all residents to take time to review their personal emergency preparedness plans and consider how they will stay informed during emergencies. For more information on general emergency preparedness, visit: www.yellowknife.ca/emergency-preparedness.
