07/15/19 KPB Alerts Emergency Notification System Will Be Tested in Cooper Landing Tuesday July 16, 2019 at 1:05 PM

The Borough Office of Emergency Management will be testing the “KPB Alerts” emergency notification system within the unincorporated community of Cooper Landing, Alaska on Tuesday July 16, 2019. The test is being conducted to evaluate the system, and to encourage folks to register their cell phone numbers if they haven’t already done so.
No action is required. This brief test is only being conducted for registered landlines and cell phones with physical addresses located in Cooper Landing. In the event that KPB Alerts must be activated for an actual emergency, the notification will specify the incident and the actions that should be taken.

NOTE:  All landlines within the Borough, including Cooper Landing, are currently registered in the KPB Alerts system. In order to receive an emergency notification on your cell phone you need to complete the registration online at https://alerts.kpb.us/. You can also select to receive text messages or social media alerts when registering. The KPB Alerts notification is scheduled for Tuesday
July 16, 2019 at 1:05 PM.


Individuals that do not receive the test notification by 2:00 PM may email or call the Office of Emergency Management. Please provide the name of your cell phone carrier, your physical address and the registered phone numbers. To provide a technical report or for more information, call 907-262-INFO (4636) or email oem@kpb.us.
