Urgent Notifications System

Boulder Mountain Fire has created an email notification system that is used to communicate emergency messages and important safety information. This is a one-way notification system for BMFPD to communicate vital community safety information, not a discussion forum.

It is important to understand that this service is not a substitute or replacement for Reverse-911, which is a service of the Boulder County Sheriff. To sign up for Reverse-911 alerts, visit this link.

Subscribing to BMFPD’s urgent notifications system is voluntary, but you are strongly encouraged to sign up so we can deliver important safety information to you. You can subscribe or unsubscribe at any time.

Examples of “important safety information” include:

• Status updates during major incidents, such as wildland fires and floods

• Days with very high wildfire danger (i.e., Red Flag watches and warnings)

• Unusual traffic advisories arising from road closures, detours, and the like

To receive notifications most relevant to where you live, subscribe to the neighborhood group where you live. This will reduce the chance you will receive information that does not pertain to you. Not sure of your neighborhood? Verify your BMFPD neighborhood here

To subscribe, or to check on your subscription status, just send an email to one or more the following email addresses. When you get a confirmation email, simply “reply” to it to subscribe. (You do not need a Google ID to subscribe.) If you are already subscribed to the list, the confirmation email will say “Your request to join BMF_Notify.XXX failed because you are already a member.”

To unsubscribe, simple send another email with “unsubscribe” instead of “subscribe” in the email address. For example, to usubscribe from the Pine Brook Hills list, send an email to: bmf_notify.pbh+unsubscribe@bouldermountainfire.org

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This service is not a substitute or replacement for Reverse-911, which is a service of the Boulder County Sheriff. To sign up for Reverse-911 alerts, visit this link.

• Notifications sent to you by this system are generated by authorized BMFPD personnel only, on a best-effort basis. It is only one of many ways you can be alerted, but no method is 100% reliable.

• If you live near the boundary between two or more neighborhoods, you might consider subscribing to more than one group. If you do this, you may receive multiple emails containing the same information.

• From time to time, a situation may dictate that BMFPD broadcast notifications to ALL groups simultaneously.

• This service is not affiliated with any of the HOAs or neighborhood groups.
