AlertVolusia Emergency Alerts (signup)

AlertVolusia is Volusia County's emergency mass-notification system, built on Everbridge. It replaced the CodeRED system the county previously used. Residents sign up by area (there is a DeLand-specific signup) and can receive alerts by cell voice/text, email, home phone, and business phone; the free Everbridge Public Safety mobile app also shows notifications. Countywide alerts (e.g., large-scale evacuations) reach anyone signed up in any area.
