Ready Santa Fe vs. Alert Santa Fe: Two Ways to Stay Informed
Alert Santa Fe sends you direct text and email notifications telling you WHAT is happening during an emergency.
Ready Santa Fe shows you WHERE emergencies are happening on an interactive map, including road closures, evacuations, shelter-in-place orders, and public safety notices.
Why use both? Text messages have character limits and can’t show complex geographic areas or multiple incidents at once. Maps make it easy to see at a glance whether an emergency affects your home, workplace, or commute.
Ready Santa Fe stays available for you to check anytime, while Alert Santa Fe ensures you get immediate notifications. We communicate across multiple platforms to provide consistent, official information.
Use them together: When you receive an Alert Santa Fe message, visit ready.santafenm.gov to see detailed maps and location information.
What Is Ready Santa Fe?
Ready Santa Fe helps you understand emergency situations as they unfold. The interactive map provides immediate situational awareness, including which roads are closed, where evacuations are in effect, and what areas have active public safety incidents.
Built for scalability: During large-scale disasters affecting multiple areas simultaneously, Ready Santa Fe allows emergency personnel to quickly update information across the entire city.
Always current: Emergency responders update Ready Santa Fe directly from the field, ensuring the information reflects current conditions. Check the map anytime to see if an incident affects your home, workplace, or travel routes.
How Does Alert Santa Fe Work?
Alert Santa Fe is a free, automatic system that sends emergency messages by text and email. Register all phone numbers and email addresses for your household to ensure you receive alerts.
Some alerts go to everyone who is signed up. Others are sent only to people in affected areas, based on decisions made by emergency officials.
