An alert system , alerts their registrants about any calamity or emergency in your area by calling your cellphone number.Santa Clara county has finally launched this system.Most of the landlines are already registered in their system.
But they are missing cellphones and email addresses of residents.I would highly recommend Santa Clara county residents to enroll in this system.
You can read more about it @ http://www.mercurynews.com/topstories/ci_13447993?nclick_check=1 and to register your number please go to http://www.alertscc.com/
