Reminder: CEAN Alerts Discontinued Sept. 30
Posted at 11 a.m.
In this video, Paul Lupe from our emergency management office, provides a reminder for existing CEAN users of the need to create a new Fairfax Alerts account before the end of the month (Sept. 30).
The former CEAN platform will no longer be used after Sept. 30, so we want to make sure that if you were receiving alerts that you continue to receive them after the full switch over to Fairfax Alerts.
Learn more and register for Fairfax Alerts at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/alerts. If you have any questions, or need assistance in registering, email OEM-AlertSupport@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Why don’t you send an announcement from Fairfax Alerts to let people know they are on the system (at the same time as you send these notices to sign up)? It’s confusing to keep getting these reminders. I’m sure all of us want to be sure we are on the new system, and continual reminders leave a nagging question about whether we did sign up after all. I am sure I did, but I feel like I have to check after each reminder. Thanks!
