CA Emergency Notification

Columbia residents are invited to opt in to receive notifications from CA in the event of weather-related or urgent closings. In the event of an urgency or closing, CA will send a text message to your cell phone and/or e-mail you if you have elected to receive these messages.

While CA provides this alert service free of charge. Messaging data rates may apply*

Receipt of notifications is dependent upon external providers such as your wireless carrier or e-mail delivery service. CA cannot guarantee notifications will be received by the intended recipient.

Participation in this alert system is voluntary, and you may elect to be removed at any time. Your cell phone number and e-mail address will not be used for purposes outside of CA.
