Voyent Alert!

(VA) Logo - Regular

Signup to be notified of water, sewer, road works, parking bans, and more impacting your community.

Through the Voyent Alert! System you can be informed when there are incidents that are taking place that may impact you. Whether planned activities like road or infrastructure repairs, fire bans, snow removal, or unplanned things like a water line break, a road closure due to a motor vehicle collision, high water and more. Voyent Alert! lets you stay up-to-date with whichever method you may prefer.

Additionally, Voyent Alert! allows residents to receive emergency notifications with detailed information and instructions based off of vicinity of the incident. Emergencies can include:

  • approaching wildfire
  • river flooding
  • train derailment
  • aggressive wildlife in town
  • severe storms
  • building fires
  • hazardous spills
  • or other human or natural emergencies

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.

How to Register

You select how you would like to receive an emergency alert or notification:

  • an app on your smart phone or tablet
  • through email
  • SMS text to your mobile phone 
  • a recorded message to a phone

In the event of an emergency, this will be how the Town of Slave Lake contacts you about critical information that needs to reach you and your family. The Town's system is separate from Alberta Alerts or Canada-wide alerts; the Town only issues notifications for issues in this area. 

This new system allows for greater communication to residents and visitors in a timely fashion. In addition to multiple ways to sign up for alerts, this will also include mapping information for a greater understanding of where emergencies are taking place and what you need to do to stay safe.

Registration for the service is free, simple and totally anonymous.

We don't ask for personal information. Registration only asks for how you want to be notified, and the address or map pin of where you live and/or other locations in town (such as your place of work, your child's school, a favourite trail) that will help you receive the alerts that matter to you.

What You Can Expect:

  • Personalized Communications: Voyent Alert! provides informative communications. Critical information such as the distance and direction from an incident, time of intercept and preferred evacuation routes from your tracked locations are provided.
  • Track Multiple Locations: Voyent Alert! allows you to create and track multiple locations such as “Kids School” or “Mom’s House”. Any event or communication related to your tracked locations will be forwarded to you along your preferred communication channel.
  • No Message Fatigue: Voyent Alert’s smart alerting capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when a communication is relevant to you or one of the locations you are tracking.
  • Communications Your Way: Receive alerts over a wide variety of communication channels including mobile apps, text/SMS alerting, email or voice calling. You can register for all or one of them.
  • Privacy is Paramount: Registration is anonymous, and no information volunteered or derived is shared or used for marketing or data harvesting purposes. Locational information from your tracked locations is only used to determine its proximity to an alert event and to provide critical context within the communications (such as distance and direction).
  • Leaving is Easy: Both mobile applications and web-based accounts provide access to an unsubscribe feature accessed via the menu icon on the top left of the screen/page. If the service isn’t working out simply click on the “Unsubscribe” button and you won’t be hearing from us again.
