Union County Residents Urged to Register for Free RAVE Alert Emergency Notifications

Union County Emergency Management is encouraging residents, workers, students, property owners and frequent visitors to sign up for RAVE Alert, a free emergency notification system designed to deliver timely, official information during critical events.

The system, branded with the message “Know First. Act Fast. Stay Safe,” provides alerts about severe weather, road closures, public safety incidents, wildfires, evacuations, missing persons and other community notifications. Officials emphasize that the service helps keep the community informed, safe and connected.

Registration is completely free, requires no app, and allows users to choose how they receive alerts—text message, phone call, email, or all three. Alerts can be delivered to any phone, including landlines, so a smartphone is not required.

“Your information is secure and used only for official emergency notifications,” the county states. Contact details are not shared and are stored solely for emergency use.

Anyone who lives, works, attends school, owns property or frequently visits Union County is encouraged to register. Users can also add multiple locations, such as home, work or addresses for family members.

To sign up, scan the QR code on the official flyer or visit tinyurl.com/UnionRave. Additional information is available at unioncountyga.gov or by calling Union County Emergency Management at 706-487-4960 or 706-439-6091. The agency can also be followed on Facebook at facebook.com/ucfd1.

Union County Emergency Management’s message is clear: Prepared Today. Protected Tomorrow.

Officials urge the community to register now so they can receive trusted alerts when it matters most.
