Arlington Alert – A great way to stay informed and receive timely information:
Arlington Alert sends people who either live or work in Arlington County text messages. Individuals choose how they want to receive messages -- on their mobile phones, pagers, and/or in their e-mail boxes. These messages warn people about emergency situations.
About Arlington Alert
The Office of Emergency Management, in consultation with other relevant County departments or regional and state government entities, decides when to issue Arlington Alerts. The alerts go to subscribers who can choose both the device upon which to receive the alerts and sub-categories of alerts. These messages are usually issued to provide emergency information specific to Arlington; although, Arlington sometimes cooperates with other jurisdictions to issue messages on region-wide events or concerns. Arlington Alert is not a crime alert and/or a transit update service. Typical alert messages:
1. Events, either natural or man-made, that pose a threat to health/safety.
2. Serious, sudden or long-term traffic disruptions.
3. Unusual weather events.
4. Cyber alerts.

Be Informed
Unless people are in the immediate area to witness an emergency situation, the chance that they will be quickly alerted to important safety information is minimal. Because text messaging is used by many people, it is an efficient effective means to immediately alert a segment of the population who can then warn others.
Sign Up
There is no cost to register for Arlington Alert. All it takes is completing a simple form. Each registrant chooses the devices on which he/she wants to receive messages.

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS

Vehicle Security:

• Lock all vehicle doors.

• Remove valuables from vehicle.

• Never leave a GPS device affixed to the windshield when not in use, remove and store in console,
glove box, or better yet, inside a home.

• Lock your vehicle even when parked in a garage.

• If your vehicle has an alarm, please activate when vehicle not in use.

• If you have an alarm service, i.e., On-Star, Lojack, please keep current on monthly fees (in-service).

• Be familiar with your vehicle information (VIN, Registration number, Insurance carrier) should an
incident occur.

• Never leave your vehicle idling without someone in the vehicle.

• Never leave a spare key hidden within the vehicle.

• Never leave a key in the ignition (unattended).

Home Security:

• Lock all doors and windows to the home when away (vacation, running errands, etc). This holds
true at night when you are sleeping.

• If the home has an alarm system, please use it.

• If you have an attached garage, please close the door. If on vacation, deactivate the automatic
garage door opener.

• Change your alarm code every once in a while.

• Lock all interior doors leading to the main house. This includes basement and garage doors.

• Use exterior lighting. Flood lights, motion detectors, lamp posts are essential to deterrence.

• Trim bushes around windows.

• Do not leave valuables in plain view of a window, i.e. a purse sitting on a table next to a door or
window.

• If you "hide" a door key on the exterior of the home, be sure it's well hidden. It's better to give the
key to a neighbor.

• If you have extension ladders in the tool shed, under a deck, etc., it's worth securing with a lock.

• Secure all tool sheds (easy source of tools to gain entry to your home).

• Be conscientious of open second story windows, decks, or other means criminals may use to climb
to a second story window.

• Make sure deadbolts are installed on exterior doors (single key, double key).

• Consider enhanced locking devices for sliding windows (pins).

• Get to know your neighbors, your neighborhood, watch out for each other.

• If you notice suspicious persons or activity, call the non-emergency police number

(703-558-2222) and report it.
