The City of Burlington encourages residents and people who work in the city to subscribe to Alert Burlington, a free emergency notification system. The purpose of Alert Burlington is to keep you informed about local emergencies like floods, gas leaks, and accidents that could put you or your property at risk.
In case of an emergency, Alert Burlington will send you important messages through text, email, or phone calls. It will also give you instructions on whether you should leave your location or stay put.
Since its launch in 2022, there hasn’t been a need to send out any emergency alerts. However, it's always a good idea to be prepared. Sign up for this free community alert service by visiting www.burlington.ca/alertburlington. You'll need to provide your name, address, and contact information.
Those who are already registered with Alert Burlington should log in at least once a year to make sure contact information is up to date.
Burlington is a city where people, nature, and businesses thrive. If you want to learn more, visit burlington.ca/subscribe and follow @CityBurlington on social media.

It’s great to see the amount of people subscribed to the platform increasing, and I hope it continues to trend that way.”
