Severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service are also now available through the system. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Alerts are accessible in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Hindi. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Public safety emergency notifications can be sent from Allegheny County to all cell phones in the area, regardless of whether individuals are enrolled in Allegheny Alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato highlighted the importance of the service. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">\u201cTimely and important updates to our residents about topics like planned road closures, a last-minute polling place change on Election Day, pool closures, or an event change due to severe weather is a critical service for Allegheny County government to provide,\u201d Innamorato said. She added, \u201cI\u2019m pleased we can offer Allegheny Alerts to convey important information when residents need it, to the device of their choosing, in their preferred language. This was a service requested by the public and a commitment we made in my All In Action Plan and today we\u2019re delivering on that promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The prior platform for Allegheny Alerts, which was regularly used during the COVID pandemic, is being sunset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Residents previously enrolled in Allegheny Alerts have started receiving notifications about the transition, which include instructions on how to continue getting alerts on the new platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">If you would like to enroll in the alerts, <a href=\"https:\/\/identityservice.onsolve.net\/SignIn?ReturnUrl=%2Fconnect%2Fauthorize%2Fcallback%3Fclient_id%3Dself-registration-user%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faccountportal.onsolve.net%252Fidentity%252Fsignin%252Fcallback%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dopenid%2520profile%2520onsolve-selfregistration-api%2520openid%2520profile%26state%3D4e43916f3dd148b392406261300e7d1b_eyJwb3J0YWxVcmwiOiIvYWxsZWdoZW55YWxlcnRzIn0%253D%26code_challenge%3DdJK6v1ZXjxuLxH-rXOFW2GbJDleTBT0t_Hqsj1fhfI4%26code_challenge_method%3DS256%26response_mode%3Dquery%26branding_descriptor%3DeyJwb3J0YWxJZCI6NzU2Nn0%253D%26organization_uuid%3D15f7ccb5-9c4b-4b31-b770-ff48a7c5a632%26division_uuid%3D009e017d-000e-3000-80c0-fceb55463ffe%26ui_lang%3Den-US%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faccountportal.onsolve.net%252Falleghenyalerts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/identityservice.onsolve.net\/SignIn?ReturnUrl=%2Fconnect%2Fauthorize%2Fcallback%3Fclient_id%3Dself-registration-user%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faccountportal.onsolve.net%252Fidentity%252Fsignin%252Fcallback%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dopenid%2520profile%2520onsolve-selfregistration-api%2520openid%2520profile%26state%3D4e43916f3dd148b392406261300e7d1b_eyJwb3J0YWxVcmwiOiIvYWxsZWdoZW55YWxlcnRzIn0%253D%26code_challenge%3DdJK6v1ZXjxuLxH-rXOFW2GbJDleTBT0t_Hqsj1fhfI4%26code_challenge_method%3DS256%26response_mode%3Dquery%26branding_descriptor%3DeyJwb3J0YWxJZCI6NzU2Nn0%253D%26organization_uuid%3D15f7ccb5-9c4b-4b31-b770-ff48a7c5a632%26division_uuid%3D009e017d-000e-3000-80c0-fceb55463ffe%26ui_lang%3Den-US%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faccountportal.onsolve.net%252Falleghenyalerts\">click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allegheny County on Thursday relaunched its free public notification system, Allegheny Alerts.
