This service is provided by the Lake County Department of Homeland Security and offered to all towns and cities in the county.  Town residents will need to create an account to enroll in Rave Alert.

Smart911 is a free service that allows individuals to create an account to receive notifications on potentially hazardous situations involving weather, traffic and other emergencies.

When creating a Smart911 account, Individuals can also opt-in for Rave Alert which allows citizens to receive timely and actionable emergency alerts via email, text or voice message on their cell phones. Individuals decide how much information they want to provide when they sign up and it is stored on the Smart911 secure online system. They can also identify when and how they are alerted and communicated with before, during, and after emergencies.

While Rave Alert will be prepopulated with numbers from a phone bank, residents of Schererville who want to receive alerts will need to opt-in to the new Rave Alert system by signing up at https://schererville.org/smart911 to make sure they are in the system. At this time, we are asking residents without Internet access to ask a friend, family member, or neighbor to assist them with signing up. 

Rave will always call you with the number 219-755-3166.
