Snow Emergency Phone Alerts

Minneapolis uses the Swiftreach Emergency Notification System to alert residents to snow emergencies and other important information.

When a Snow Emergency is declared, you may receive a short, prerecorded voice message. If you have a listed phone number in Minneapolis, you are most likely already on our list.
