Register for Emergency Alerts
The Town of Kirkland Lake provides emergency alerts using the Voyent Alert system to help residents and visitors become informed about situations that may require people to take action to protect their safety. These alerts may be town-wide or very localized to people who have placed their pins in a particular area, such as school, home or work location.
You must register below to receive alerts from the Town of Kirkland Lake.
Local emergencies may include:
- evacuation alerts or orders
- wildfire notices
- river flooding
- train derailment
- severe storms closing local roads
- building fires
- gas leaks
- hazardous spills
- aggressive wildlife in town
- dangerous person
When signing up for emergency alerts, you remain anonymous, and you are asked how you want to receive an alert: by text, email, voice phone call or a message via an app. You can place a pin on the map for your
home or
hotel, and any other frequented location such as a place of
work or
school or recreation spot. This ensures you receive alerts that may be limited to a specific area, as well as non-emergency information notifications for neighbourhoods.
For emergencies, you will receive a bold Alert that is hard to miss. For notifications of issues that are non-emergencies, you will receive a normal notification on the service you select.
For visitors to Kirkland Lake, select the method of notification that works for you and your mobile device. Place your "home" at your hotel or campground and add a destination in town. All methods are easy to unsubscribe when you leave town.
