Early Care and Education Inclement Weather Procedures
FlashAlert Phone App
ESD 112’s Early Care and Education centers use FlashAlert, an Internet-based system for delivering news and emergency closures or other information. As we head into the winter months and more unpredictable weather, this easy to use app is a great way to stay up-to-date on any emergency or weather-related incidents that may affect our centers.
Now, a free app is available for you to receive important messages. (If we are in lock-down; if the agency is closed due to hazardous weather, etc.) This free iOS/Android app, FlashAlert Messenger, lets you receive emergency messages through Push Notification.
Download the FlashAlert App
Follow these simple steps to get started:
Go to www.flashalert.net/id/ece and enter your email address to start the subscription.- Using the app store on your phone, download and install the free FlashAlert Messenger app that looks like the icon to the right.
- Enter the email address and password you used in step 1 and the app will link to it. The app may ask permission to send you push notifications. That’s it!
- If you need to make changes to your account or add other schools or organizations, go to https://www.flashalert.net/login/.
All addresses registered on FlashAlert will remain confidential. Once a year, you will receive an email at your registered email address asking if you wish to continue your subscription.
All notifications for our Centers will come from “Early Care & Ed – ECE @ ESD 112.”
