How Do I Get Emergency Notifications & Information?
Official Emergency Information and Instructions
When the City of Homer is experiencing an emergency situation, an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be opened. Emergency managers will use the following media to get official information out quickly to a wide audience:
-
The City of Homer website will carry the latest official information on the event as soon as it is available.
-
Local KBBI radio at 890 AM and updates at kbbi.org
-
City of Homer Facebook page @cityofhomerak and Homer Volunteer Fire Department Facebook page @HomerVolFireDept
Do not call 911 to get information regarding a disaster. The 911 center will be inundated with calls for life-threatening emergencies and will not be able to provide information. Instead, use one of the information sources listed above.
If there is a threat to your life or property, however, do not hesitate to call 911. Keep in mind that there will be many other citizens doing the same thing, so be patient and give the 911 operator all of the information that they request.
Emergency Notifications
Emergencies happen every year on the Kenai Peninsula, and KPB Alerts is one way to ensure you and your family members receive timely and up-to-date information during a crisis. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management (OEM) uses the KPB Alerts System to keep the public informed in the event of a disaster or other urgent situation. The KPB Alerts system allows OEM to simultaneously distribute thousands of calls or texts to residents with critical information, or action steps they need to take in order to remain safe.
Visit https://my.kpb.us/users/sign_in to create an account and register to receive alerts. Once Logged in, click on “Start a new Emergency Notification Registration”. The registration will require you to provide contact name, mobile phone number, email, and physical address. In the event of an emergency, local officials will determine the physical area(s) to be notified and the system will contact persons who reside in those locations.
To learn more, visit KPB Alerts FAQ's page.
