Saanich Peninsula Alert

Sidney, North Saanich, and Central Saanich municipalities have joined together to provide public safety alerts to the residents and visitors of the Saanich Peninsula. This system is called Saanich Peninsula Alert and is designed to deliver critical and potentially life-saving alerts to anyone who has registered. Alerts would be sent for events such as earthquakes, tsunami alerts, evacuation notices, or other safety threats. There is no sign up fee for Saanich Peninsula Alert.

Registrants can set their notifications to include multiple areas within the Saanich Peninsula boundaries. This enables the user to keep up-to-date on areas outside of their own neighbourhood or municipality.  For example, someone residing in North Saanich may work in Central Saanich and have elderly parents living in Sidney.  The user can set up notifications for all three areas, or more if they choose.
