The Municipality of Wawa offers a free emergency notification system that delivers Wawa Emergency Alert subscribers emergency notifications during critical events like fires, floods and extreme weather, by app notifications, telephone, text (SMS) or email.

In times of crisis, it is important that residents have access to trusted, timely and accurate information to ensure their own safety and that of their family and loved ones. In response to this need, the Municipality of Wawa has chosen Voyent Alert!, a Canadian-based multi-purpose communication service, as the communication service provider for these kinds of events.
