Tips for signing up:
For the app: be sure you have downloaded EVERBRIDGE and not Everbridge 360. Look for the logo with the blue background.
Search terms: based on some feedback from citizens we broadened the terms to include Frederick County, VA; FredCoVA; Frederick County; ALERT FredCoVA; Fred Co VA; Alert Fred Co VA; Frederick County VA; Fred Co. These are not case sensitive.
Follow the system prompts for creating a username and password.
Be sure you select Frederick County VA and not Frederick County MD. You will not be able to sign up for the MD system with a VA address. You may get a message that your address is outside of the group’s range and that’s a good sign you may have selected MD!
Getting a message that your username is already in use? Try a different username! There are millions of people in the Everbridge community so someone else may have your first choice of usernames or you may have used it to sign up with a different locality.
