Kane County has recently implemented a Community Emergency Notification System which will basically allow the County to notify you in the event of an emergency.  This will take place automatically if you are a property owner with local phone service.  However, you have to sign up if you want to be contacted at an alternate phone number.  The alternate phone number can be outside of Kane county service.  The nice thing about it is you don’t have to purchase anything.

About Kane County's Community Emergency Notification System
Kane County, Utah - Office of Emergency Services has implemented a Community Emergency Notification System. It allows the County to rapidly notify residents and businesses by telephone. In the event of an emergency such as the major December snow storm that impacted many areas on Cedar Mountain and resulted in road closures, made snow removal almost impossible, resulted in downed trees and power lines, an operator using the system can identify the affected neighborhood or region of the County and record a message that describes the situation. The system will automatically call listed and unlisted telephone numbers within the affected area and deliver the recorded message. If phone lines are busy, the system will attempt to redial those numbers to make contact. If an answering machine picks up the call, the emergency message will be left on the machine.
To Sign Up, go to the web and type in …Kane.Utah.Gov and on the Kane County home page, double click on the banner titled REVERSE 911 and follow the instructions.
