Introducing Voyent Alert!
We are pleased to announce the launch the new Voyent Alert!
notification service for the Village of Buena Vista.
In times of crisis, it is important that residents have
access to trusted, timely and accurate information to ensure their own safety
and that of their family and loved ones. In response to this need, the Village of Buena Vista has chosen Voyent Alert! as the communication service provider
for these kinds of events.
Voyent Alert! is a multi-purpose communication service used
to send alerts to residents, businesses, and visitors during critical events
like fires or floods as well as for relevant day-to-day communications such as
snow removal advisories, planned maintenance, water advisories, rescheduled garbage/recycling collection, events, etc.
How to Register:
Registration for the service is FREE, simple and totally anonymous.
For Mobile App Alerts: Download and install the Voyent
Alert! app from the Apple or Google Play app stores.
For Email, Text Message or Voice Call Alerts: Register
online at https://register.voyent-alert.com
What You Can Expect:Personalized Communications: Voyent Alert! provides informative
communications.
Follow Multiple Locations: Voyent Alert! allows you to
create and follow multiple locations such as “Kids School” or “Mom’s House”.
Any event or communication related to your followed locations will be forwarded
to you along with your preferred communication channel.
No Message Fatigue: Voyent Alert’s smart alerting
capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when a communication is
relevant to you or one of the locations you are following.
Communications Your Way: Receive alerts over a wide variety
of communication channels including mobile apps, text/SMS alerting, email or
voice calling. You can register for all or one of them.
Privacy is Paramount: Registration is anonymous, and no
information volunteered or derived is shared or used for marketing or data
harvesting purposes. Locational information from your followed locations is
only used to determine its proximity to an alert event and to provide critical
context within the communications (such as distance and direction).
Leaving is Easy: Both mobile applications and web-based
accounts provide access to an unsubscribe feature accessed via the menu icon on
the top right of the screen/page. If the service isn’t working out simply click
on the “Unsubscribe” button and you won’t be hearing from us again.
For more information you can check out the FAQ and the Voyent Alert Privacy Policy.

Voyent Alert! has the option to send phone calls to a land line and we want to ensure all residents, even those who do not have the capability of using electronic devices to sign up, therefore, we encourage you to visit us at the Village Office so we can help you get registered to receive phone calls.
