Stay Informed: Burn Ban & Red Flag Alerts by Text

We’ve adopted a new text message alert system to keep our community informed during high fire risk conditions.

This system provides quick, reliable notifications when:

  • A burn ban is in effect or lifted
  • A Red Flag Warning has been issued

How to Sign Up

If you would like to receive a text when the burn ban status changes, please sign up using the directions below. A message will only be sent out when the burn ban has been lifted or a new ban put in place.

Messages are brief and available in English and Spanish.

This system is powered by Warn Central Texas via Everbridge.
