AF Notify Emergency Alerts
AF Notify is the City's notification system to communicate with residents in the event of an emergency by means of a mass email, call, or text. American Fork City, along with Utah County, uses Everbridge Emergency Notification System for its emergency alert system.
To make sure you receive an emergency notification, please subscribe to AF Notify at alerts.utahcounty.gov. We recommend you create your AF Notify account so you have the ability to receive alerts about: emergencies, City news, roadwork/utility closures, traffic alerts, public meetings, and events, programs and services.
Visit the AF Notify webpage for more information and to sign up or sign in to your account.

Major Incident Plan
The City of American Fork is prepared for all disasters with a comprehensive Major Incident Plan (the plan linked intentionally excludes private contact information included in the full plan).
