How to Sign Up for Titus County Emergency Alerts (Hyper-Reach): Add your cell and know the text-message terms

Titus County uses Hyper-Reach Community Alerts for local emergency and community notifications. When you register, you can add a cell phone, email, and/or TDD - so you're not stuck relying on a single method for time-sensitive updates.

Double-check your street address during signup. Titus County uses it to target Emergency Alerts to affected areas - a wrong street number or missing unit could mean you miss alerts that apply to your location.

• ✓ Double-check your house number before you submit
• ✓ Add your apartment/unit/suite if you have one
• ✓ Confirm the street name is spelled correctly (and matches what you normally use for mail)
• ✓ If the signup page shows an address selection or map pin, make sure it matches your actual location

2. Use the Community Alerts registration fields - Enter the cell number (and any other contact methods you want, like email or TDD) so those channels can receive notifications.
3. Add additional household contacts if needed - If more than one person should get alerts, register each contact method you want included.

• ✓ If you have a listed landline, expect Hyper-Reach to call it automatically
• ✓ If you rely on a cell phone, make sure that cell number is signed up (it won’t be automatic)
• ✓ If your landline is unlisted, make sure you registered it
• ✓ Add contact info for other members of your household if they also need alerts
• ✓ If you want email and/or TDD notifications, confirm those entries are included under Community Alerts

By submitting a mobile number, you're agreeing to receive text messages from Hyper-Reach for the alerts you select. How often you get messages depends on what's happening locally. Your carrier may charge message and data rates for these texts.
