AlertDFB

Sign up for Free Emergency Alerts

The City of Deerfield encourages you to sign up to receive free emergency alerts from the City’s Alert DFB program.  Alert DFB is a free emergency alert system that sends you vital updates and information about emergencies and disasters.  Alert DFB keeps you up-to-date with relevant information about local emergencies like hurricanes, severe weather conditions, floods, and evacuations.  It is our best tool to send you critical information quickly so you can keep yourself and your family safe.  You will receive time-sensitive messages however you specify; such as your home phone, cell phone, email address, or even your business phone.  You will only receive alerts on what you register.  

Signing up is quick and easy!!  You have two options:

  1. Click the button below to direct you to the portal where you can register your home phone, email address, business phone, etc. (Best Option)
    Instructions are listed below.
  2. or text AlertDFB to 888777
    This selection will not allow for location alerts, such as a water main break located in your neighborhood because no address has been entered.

Be sure to sign up for every cell phone in your family, and to tell your neighbors to sign up too! Remember:  If we can’t reach you, we can’t alert you!
