Westminster residents are encouraged to stay prepared and informed. Receiving the right information at the right time can make all the difference in an emergency. Read on to learn how Lookout Alert and Genasys keep you connected when it matters most.
In an emergency, receiving timely, accurate information can make all the difference. Westminster’s Lookout Alert notification system keeps residents informed about critical situations, from wildfires and severe weather to evacuations and other urgent public safety concerns.
Why Sign Up for Lookout Alert? Landline numbers are already registered in the system, but cell phone users must opt-in to receive alerts. By registering your phone number and linking it to your address, you ensure you’ll receive notifications based on your location, whether home or work. This helps you stay informed about nearby incidents affecting your area.
Alert Types: Customize which notifications you receive—choose calls, text messages, or emails.
Who Should Sign Up?: All City of Westminster residents, whether living in Adams or Jefferson County, are encouraged to register. If your information was previously in CodeRed, it should be transferred, but we recommend logging in to verify your details.
To enroll, visit the Lookout Alert Registration Page. If you need help have questions, contact the Westminster Communications Center at 303-658-4360.
In partnership with Lookout Alert, Westminster has introducing Genasys, a tool for tracking designated evacuation zones. Genasys helps residents quickly locate their evacuation zone based on their address, making it easy to follow evacuation instructions during emergencies.
Why Genasys? Knowing your zone in advance allows for faster, safer responses if an evacuation is necessary.
How to Use Genasys: Search your address on the Genasys Protect website to find your designated zone. You can also download the Genasys app for easy access to your evacuation zone and receive location-specific notifications directly on your mobile device.
Download the App: Available on both iOS and Android, the Genasys app allows you to monitor your zone in real time and stay updated on any emergency notifications, so you’re prepared wherever you are.
This information, paired with real-time alerts from Lookout Alert, ensures you’re ready to act if needed.
Lookout Alert is a city-specific notification system, distinct from FEMA and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA):
FEMA Alerts: Sent nationally or regionally for widespread events.
WEA Alerts: Delivered automatically for urgent situations, like AMBER Alerts or imminent weather threats.
Lookout Alert: Targeted to Westminster, providing you with information relevant to specific areas within the city.
Register for Lookout Alert: Ensure you receive timely emergency notifications on your preferred devices.
Know Your Evacuation Zone: Familiarize yourself with your Genasys evacuation zone for quicker action in emergencies.
Together, Lookout Alert and Genasys offer a powerful approach to public safety, keeping you informed and ready to act. For more details or to sign up, visit Lookout Alert and Genasys Protect.
