On behalf of Fort Bend County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management I would like to share some valuable information with you about Accessible Alerts.

Fort Bend County is partnering with Deaf Link to provide the Accessible Hazard Alert System (AHAS) Program which will send accessible alert messages to registered residents who are Deaf, Blind, hard of hearing, or Deaf/Blind, before, during, and after an emergency or disaster in Fort Bend County

Fort Bend Alert subscribers in an area affected by an emergency or disaster will be able to receive an accessible alert message in American Sign Language (ASL) and English voice and text. The alert message could include information about the emergency and what actions to take.

Fort Bend County will send accessible alert messages to internet and video capable devices such as computers, mobile phones, and tablet computers. These Alerts are also Braille reader accessible.

Prepare, Plan, and Stay Informed. Complete the Accessible Hazard Alert System signup form here to receive alert messages in accessible formats.
