Emergency Notification Registration

Emergency Notification System Registrations | Squamish Community Dashboard This indicator measures the number of resident registrations for SquamishAlert, an emergency notification system that enables the District of Squamish and the Squamish Nation to communicate important information quickly in the event of emergencies. SquamishAlert and Squamish Nation Alert systems are powered by Voyent Alert. This free service is offered to all residents living in Squamish. The system enables the District of Squamish and Squamish Nation to provide critical information, such as severe weather, wildfire, floods, debris flows, unexpected road closures, and any other emergency event that could impact the community. About this target: The District aims to increase SquamishAlert subscriptions year over year, with the goal of having 40% of the local Squamish population aged 15 and up registered for electronic emergency notifications. Analysis: By the end of 2024, 6,178 residents were registered for Squamish’s emergency notification system. This number represents 29% of the total population aged 15 years and older in the District of Squamish. Registrations have increased each year since 2022. In July 2021, the District of Squamish improved the ability for residents to subscribe to SquamishAlert by switching to a new provider and simplifying the signup process. An extensive outreach campaign, coupled with a number of major emergencies last year, have resulted in a significant increase in the number of people who are subscribed. By the end of 2021, 7,067 residents had registered for Squamish’s emergency notification system, representing an increase in registrations of 36% over the previous year (2020). *Note: In 2022 when SquamishAlert version 2.0 was released, all contact points were merged. This caused an administration issue which created two separate accounts for a subscriber who had signed up for both phone calls and text messages —this issue was later fixed and these accounts were merged into its subscriber account. As a result it appears that fewer people registered during this time period in 2022. Reason for monitoring: The District and Squamish Nation's emergency network supports coordinated emergency response and communications vital to building greater preparedness and resilience to adverse events.紧急通知系统注册量 | 斯阔米什社区仪表盘 本指标用于统计斯阔米什Alert（SquamishAlert）的居民注册人数——该系统是一套紧急通知平台，可支持斯阔米什行政区与斯阔米什原住民部落在紧急事件发生时快速传递关键信息。斯阔米什Alert与斯阔米什原住民部落警报系统均由Voyent Alert提供技术支持。此项免费服务面向所有居住在斯阔米什地区的居民开放，可发布极端天气、野火、洪水、泥石流、道路临时封闭以及其他可能影响社区的紧急事件相关的重要资讯。 关于注册目标：斯阔米什行政区计划逐年提升斯阔米什Alert的注册量，最终实现斯阔米什地区15岁及以上本地居民中40%完成电子紧急通知系统注册。 数据分析：截至2024年末，共有6178名居民注册了斯阔米什紧急通知系统，占该行政区15岁及以上总人口的29%。自2022年起，注册人数实现逐年增长。2021年7月，斯阔米什行政区更换服务提供商并简化注册流程，大幅提升了居民订阅斯阔米什Alert的便捷性。配合大规模的宣传推广活动与过往一年的多起重大紧急事件，平台订阅量实现了显著增长。截至2021年末，共有7067名居民完成注册，较2020年同比增长36%。 *注：2022年斯阔米什Alert 2.0版本上线时，所有联系人信息曾被合并。该操作引发了一项管理问题：同时订阅电话通知与短信通知的用户会被生成两个独立账户，该问题后续已完成修复并将重复账户合并为单一用户账户，因此2022年同期的注册数据看似偏低。 监测意义：斯阔米什行政区与斯阔米什原住民部落的紧急通讯网络可支持协同应急响应与信息传递，对提升社区应对突发事件的准备能力与韧性至关重要。
