The Grand Canyon River Alert system is now live! The U.S. Geological Survey, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC), in collaboration with Coconino County Emergency Management (CCEM), the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Park Service (NPS), have developed and implemented a framework for sending emergency alerts to boaters and hikers in Grand Canyon. The system is specifically designed to send alerts to satellite texting devices, such those sold by Garmin and SPOT, and is a first of its kind in the nation. Alert messaging will be provided by NPS, NWS, or the Bureau of Reclamation depending on the nature of the incident. CCEM will disseminate alert messaging to devices subscribed to the Grand Canyon River Alerts list. Boating hazards, missing persons, critical dam related events, and extreme weather and flash flood hazards will be included in alert messaging.
