Perry, GA – Residents who rely on emergency and community notifications from the City of Perry will need to take action this week as the city officially transitions to a new alert system designed to improve reliability and reach.
According to the City of Perry Government, the former Perry Points notification service is being replaced by Perry Alerts, an upgraded platform that delivers city and emergency information through text messages, emails, and voice calls. The system will be used for emergency situations, severe weather, traffic disruptions, public safety notices, city events, and other important updates.
City officials say the change is intended to provide faster and more dependable communication, especially during emergencies that may impact residents across Perry, Houston County, and the surrounding Middle Georgia area.
However, there is an important catch for current users.
Officials confirmed that existing Perry Points subscribers will not be automatically transferred to the new system. Anyone who wants to continue receiving alerts must sign up again for Perry Alerts.
Registration is free and open to all residents, workers, and families connected to the Perry area. Users can choose how they receive alerts and customize notification preferences to avoid missing time-sensitive updates such as boil water advisories, road closures, or severe weather warnings.
The City of Perry is encouraging residents to register as soon as possible to avoid gaps in emergency communication.

City officials emphasized that staying registered helps ensure the community remains informed and connected during critical situations.
