ReadySCC and AlertSCC are free tools for Santa Clara County residents that can assist in preparing for and being informed of emergencies that may occur in our community.
Get prepared for natural disasters with ReadySCC, a mobile phone app that guides users in creating an emergency supply kit—food, water, first aid supplies, flashlight, etc.—as well as storing critical information such as out-of-town contacts and meet-up locations for family members.
ReadySCC also includes information about common disasters in our area, as well as local services, resources, and tools that you may need during a
disaster. ReadySCC is paid for by the County of Santa Clara with grant funds provided by the Department of Homeland Security and is free to users.
Stay informed with AlertSCC, a free, easy, and confidential way for anyone who lives or works in Santa Clara County to get emergency alerts sent directly to their mobile phone, email, landline phone, or TTY/TDD device. AlertSCC provides information and instructions in a variety of emergency situations, such as flooding, wildfires, air quality issues, public safety incidents, and more.
Shannin Prather, Public Authority Services by Sourcewise Training Manager, and also a user of the AlertSCC app, loves how non-invasive the free app is and states, “AlertSCC only sends messages when it needs to warn me of something in my area, such as when the smoke from recent fires in Northern California was affecting the air quality here in San Jose. I got an alert right on my cell phone warning me to be careful if I left the house.”
