Emergency Registry Enrollments

Emergency Notifications (STAN)

Register for Emergency Notifications (STAN).

Text and phone notifications are one of the best tools we have to keep citizens informed and safe during an emergency. You can register your cell phone for emergency notifications by clicking on the link above and completing the online form. You can also call 844-578-7826 to register.

By registering with Southeast Texas Alerting Network (STAN), you provide us with multiple ways to notify you in the event of an emergency that affects Beaumont. This information will remain in the custody of the Beaumont Office of Emergency Management at all times, and will only be used for critical information and emergency notification purposes. You may list landline phone numbers, however, we are most interested in gathering cell phone numbers and email addresses.

This system, combined with our other emergency alert methods, is designed to get emergency messages to the public quickly and effectively.

Emergency Assistance Registry

Register through the Emergency Assistance Registry (211/STEAR).

The STEAR program was developed by the state of Texas to assist local governments with obtaining information on the needs of citizens during an emergency event.

The program provides detailed information on citizens who may have disabilities and require additional assistance during an event or who have transportation needs. The information can be used for preparedness and response activities. This program is free to local governments and individuals.
