Pickaway County Alert - Mass Notification System
Pickaway County Alert
Pickaway County is switching its mass notification (reverse 911) system from Nixle to Everbridge. While they are under the same corporate umbrella, Everbridge will give us better capability and tools to push out public notifications in the event of an emergency.
If you already signed up through Nixle, you will receive Everbridge alerts. Your information was imported when we transitioned. If you need to update any contact information, please visit the member portal link here and click "Sign In". You need an email or phone number to sign-in and guides you through. You can complete your profile and make any changes.
If you are new to receiving alerts, please text your zip code to 888-777 or use the sign up in the box below to get registered.

About Us
The Pickaway County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (PCEMA) is responsible for developing countywide, all-hazard plans for effective preparation, response, and recovery from an emergency or disaster.
We do this by developing and strengthening relationships, keeping an inventory of local capabilities, and bringing everyone to the table to work through what emergencies may affect Pickaway County and how we will lessen the impact.
Our goal is to increase resilience in the community (with residents, businesses, and critical infrastructure) and therefore decrease the impact from a disaster.
The PCEMA staff is currently composed of two full time and one part time staff member. We are responsible for:
- Duties outlined for EMA offices in the Ohio Revised Code including developing plans and conducting training and exercises for the county
- Overseeing the County 911 Program
- Administration and oversight for the 800mhz radio system in the county
- Administrative duties for the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)
- Facilitating the county Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan
- Overseeing the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer group
- And many other programs!
