CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — The Cherokee County Government announced there’s a new emergency alert system in place and is encouraging residents to sign up.
Cherokee County has partnered with Motorola Rave to send out National Weather Service alerts to their registered users.
“Rave Alert offers extensive options for emergency alerts to our residents,” Cherokee County EMA Director Daniel Westbrook said in a statement. “The system also gives us capabilities for non-emergent alerts to those who subscribed. We plan to launch that functionality in 2026.”
