Is my contact information included in the AlertOC system database?
AlertOC contains residential and commercial landline phone numbers of Orange County’s entire geographic population. In accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), landline numbers were acquired from AT&T and Verizon’s 911 telephone database. The use of the 911 database is regulated by the CPUC code sections 2872 and 2891.1. The code states that information contained in the 911 database is confidential, proprietary and shall not be disclosed or used except by authorized personnel for the purpose of emergency notifications. It is important and recommended that community members provide additional phone numbers, e-mail addresses and a text number by registering through the AlertOC web portal. Each address location can have up to three phone numbers, two e-mail addresses and one text number.
