Two email sign-ups and a handful of public channels. Pick the ones that fit how you want to hear from the City.
Two email sign-ups
The City offers two distinct email subscriptions. They cover different things and are managed separately, so most people sign up for both.
For general news
Pick from four categories: City News & Notices, Job Postings & Volunteer, Bid Opportunities, or Airport updates. Emails arrive when something new is published in the categories you choose. One-click unsubscribe.
Subscribe to City News →For emergencies
Time-sensitive notifications: evacuation orders, boil-water notices, significant road closures. Free, opt-in, with app, SMS, email, or voice delivery options. Sent only when something genuinely changes, never for marketing.
Sign up for Voyent Alert →Other places to follow along
For news without an inbox
Same press releases, project updates, road closures, and Council decisions, published to the City news page as they happen. The page is the canonical source if you’d rather check than subscribe.
Latest news →For day-to-day updates
Follow the City on the platforms you already use. Heads-up: social media isn't monitored 24/7, so don't use it for service requests or emergencies.
For direct contact
For specific questions, services, or topics that need a real conversation.
Sign up for Voyent Alert first. It’s how you find out about an evacuation or boil-water notice while it’s still useful information, and it’s the only channel that reaches you reliably in an emergency. After that, the City News email covers everything that isn’t time-critical.
