Stay Informed with KTALERT: Your Lifeline in Emergencies

The City of Katy is committed to keeping you informed and safe. That’s why we’ve implemented KTALERT, our Mass Notification System. Since 2019, KTALERT has been a vital tool for quickly disseminating critical emergency information to our community, ensuring that you're alerted when property or lives are at risk.

Why Sign Up for KTALERT?

KTALERT uses advanced "reverse dialing" technology to deliver urgent messages directly to your phone. But it’s more than just a phone call—you can choose how you want to receive notifications. Whether it’s your home, cell, or business phone, KTALERT can also reach you through email, text messages, and hearing-impaired receiving devices, all at no cost to you.

What Types of Alerts Will You Receive?

KTALERT keeps you informed about a wide range of issues, including:

• Incident and Emergency Updates 
• Air Quality Concerns
• Crime Alerts
• Emergency Road Closures
• Power Outages
• Garbage and Recycling Updates
• City Closures
• City Updates
• Water Service Interruptions
• Large Gas Leaks
• Weather-related Emergencies

When the City of Katy activates KTALERT for a specific area, the system will attempt to send the emergency message to all registered phones in that zone, ensuring you get the information you need, when you need it.
