Voyent Alert! Notifications

In times of crisis it is important residents have access to trusted, timely and accurate information to ensure their own safety and that of their family and loved ones. In response to this need, the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach have chosen Voyent Alert! to serve the Parksville-Qualicum Beach area.

Voyent Alert! is a multi-purpose communication service used to send alerts to residents, businesses and visitors during critical events such as floods, wildfires or other emergencies in the region. As well, Parksville and Qualicum Beach will each use the notification system for a variety of non-critical notifications specific to each municipality. This notification system is an initiative of Emergency Management Oceanside on behalf of the City of Parksville and Town of Qualicum Beach.

How to register Registration for the service is FREE, simple and totally anonymous. For mobile app alerts download and install the Voyent Alert! app from the Apple or Google Play app stores. For email, text message or voice call alerts register online at register.voyent-alert.com
