Whistler Alert is the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s emergency notification system, used to communicate with residents and visitors during an emergency. Sign up now to receive text messages, phone, and email alerts about emergencies that may impact your safety, health, or property. The service is free to subscribe to; however, text message rates may apply.

Whistler Alert is different from the Province’s BC Alert system, as it provides the most up-to-date information during an emergency and calls-to-action specific to Whistler.

Find out more about how to prepare yourself, your family, housemates, or pets for an emergency on Whistler’s Emergency Program page.

How it works

In an emergency, notifications are sent to all Whistler Alert contacts in the affected area with instructions on what to do.

Whistler Alert is for both residents and visitors

Residents:
Residents are asked to provide their contact information and select the Whistler neighborhoods they wish to receive alerts for. We recommend selecting neighborhoods where you and your family spend time, such as where you live, work, play, and attend school or childcare.

Visitors:
Visitors are asked to provide their contact number and the date they plan to leave Whistler. Visitors will not receive alerts after their intended departure date. You can sign up all family members at once by entering everyone’s cell phone numbers.
