About Long Beach's Community Emergency Notification System
Long Beach has implemented a Community Emergency Notification System. The Community Emergency Notification System allows the City's 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center to rapidly notify residents and businesses by telephone. In the event of an emergency, an operator in the 9-1-1 Center can identify the affected neighborhood or region of the city and record a message that describes the situation. The Reverse 9-1-1 system will automatically call listed and unlisted telephone numbers within the affected area and deliver the recorded message. If phone lines are busy, the system will attempt to redial those numbers to make contact. If an answering machine picks up the call, the emergency message will be left on the machine.
This service is for Long Beach businesses and residences. Calls regarding property or situations outside the city are not covered. You must enter an address within the boundaries of Long Beach. Phone numbers can be outside of Long Beach and can be cellular service, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or regular telephone service. If your regular telephone service is located inside Long Beach, there is no need to signup.
The City will contact you annually via your e-mail address to verify that the phone information is still valid. If the phone number is not confirmed it will be removed from the database
