About the System

Sugar Land has acquired a state-of-the-art emergency notification system to quickly communicate with citizens by residential, business or cell phone as well as e-mail, text message or devices for the hearing and speech impaired. The system allows citizens to register unlisted numbers for emergency contact through the city's Web site - www.sugarlandtx.gov.

“No longer is the home telephone the most effective way to reach a highly mobile society, so it's important that we keep up with the changing needs of our community,” said City Manager Allen Bogard. “We intend to utilize this tool to provide time-sensitive instructions during crisis situations that could include hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and other man-made emergencies.”

Sugar Land's emergency notification system reaches thousands of citizens with one phone call. The service is a web-based solution that allows authorized staff members to send messages via the public telephone networks, as well as by text and e-mail. And, if no computer or Internet connection is available, emergency calls can be made using any telephone to access the Emergency Notification System.
