Alabama Launches New Disaster Alert System | Huntsville News

Alabama’s Governor Kay Ivey just launched a new statewide disaster alert system designed to blast emergency warnings—via phone, TV, and radio—to keep residents safe during floods and other crises. Funded with $1.2 million, the initiative follows heartbreaking July 2025 flooding in Texas that claimed 27 lives, including 25 campers. Tied to the newly signed Sarah Marsh Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act—named after an 8-year-old Alabama girl lost in those floods—the system aims to protect kids at summer camps and ensure faster, broader alerts. Get alerts by visiting ema.alabama.gov or texting “ALalert” to 77295; for general info, text “ALinfo” to the same number. This is Alabama’s big step toward keeping families safer when disaster strikes.
