Pick the neighborhoods, pick a channel mix, send once
Boil-water notices, road closures and evacuation orders go out from a single compose screen. Choose the neighborhoods the notice affects, or a saved resident group, and Bloomz handles the fan-out. A device in the public app that never picked a neighborhood still receives it, because an urgent notice should not be under-delivered.
Weather Alerts: the National Weather Service, on every channel
Enter the NWS zone or county codes for your city, set a minimum severity (Advisory, Watch or Warning, Watch by default) and turn on AutoBroadcast. Bloomz checks for new alerts every five minutes and posts the NWS headline and instructions as an urgent notice to the whole city, translated for each resident. An alert that was already sent is never sent again.
Choose the minimum severity and whether alerts send automatically.
Residents can talk back, in their own language
An alert is a conversation starter. A resident can reply in their own language, ask a follow-up or say a road is still flooded, and the reply reaches staff in theirs. No separate reporting tool and no shared, unmonitored SMS number.
Common questions
It covers the notices a city sends to residents on its own channels: boil-water notices, closures and weather. Weather Alerts rebroadcast National Weather Service watches and warnings you select. It is not an official emergency system and does not replace sirens or Wireless Emergency Alerts.
App push, SMS, email and voice, in one send, with a delivery report per channel afterward.
Yes. Import or draw your neighborhood boundaries, then pick Neighborhood groups as recipients. Residents who never chose a neighborhood in the public app still receive urgent alerts.
No. Once AutoBroadcast is on, qualifying alerts post as they are issued. Staff control the zones, the minimum severity and the on/off switch.
