The Powhatan Alert System (PAS) provides critical information to Powhatan County residencies and businesses during emergencies.
How Alerts It Works
PAS enables Powhatan County officials to provide you with critical information and directions quickly in a variety of situations such as missing persons, chemical spills, evacuations, a search for wanted persons, and during other emergencies. You will receive these time-sensitive messages wherever you specify, such as your home, mobile or business phones, email address, text messages or TTY.
Weather Notifications
There are many free severe weather notification systems available, the alert system will automatically send out Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm
WARNINGS, however It's recommended that you explore additional sources of weather information as well.
Registration
Register online for notifications from the PAS.
Because
NONE of your information is shared with
ANYONE (including the county) it is recommended that when you sign up you should select the option to "manage our account". That way you can make changes to your information in the future.
If you need help or assistance with registration, please don't hesitate to contact Powhatan Alert at (804) 598-4878 or by
email.
