1. What are best practices for my at-home generator?

DO NOT use generators inside your home, garage, or near a window. Your generator fumes could poison your neighbors if their windows are open. Be sure to keep gasoline away from sparks, flames, and heat. Let your generator cool before you refill it.

3. How do I get up to date alerts sent to me?

Visit the AlertBoca webpage to sign up. 

City of Boca Raton and Boca Raton Police Department are able to send you alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.

In addition to alerts regarding City related business, alerts could include traffic impacts, significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.

These alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.
