Questions and Answers
Do I have to pay to receive Alertable alerts?
No, regardless of the method you choose to receive alerts (app, text, phone notifications, etc.) this alert notification service is free to all users.
When setting up the app, which locations should I choose?
To receive alerts for Chilliwack, select "Chilliwack, BC, Canada". You can choose to select multiple locations or cities.
When setting up the app, should I turn on 'Follow Me'?
By turning on 'Follow Me', you will receive alerts that are issued for your phone's current location, even when you are away from Chilliwack, or another area you selected.
Are Alertable and Alert Ready the same thing?
No. Alert Ready is a Canada-wide system that allows government officials in each province and territory to issue emergency alerts through compatible wireless devices and major television and radio broadcasters. You do not need an app to receive alerts through the Alert Ready system. Alerts will be broadcast without a subscription and at no cost to ensure the maximum number of people receive alerts.
