33111 will put weather and other emergency alerts on your mobile phone

From Steuben County NY

Bath, NY – [May 22, 2025] The Steuben County Office of Emergency Services is encouraging residents to sign up for a new, easy-to-use emergency alert system recently launched by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) and Steuben County. The program, called “Triple Three Triple One” (333111), delivers free, real-time weather and emergency alerts directly to your mobile phone.

To enroll, simply text the name of your county (e.g., Steuben) to 333111. Once enrolled, you’ll automatically begin receiving alerts specific to that area.

Key Features of the Alert System:

  • Free and fast enrollment
  • Not case-sensitive – no need to include the word “County”
  • Receive alerts for multiple counties – just text each county name individually
  • Works with all cell phone carriers
  • Private and secure – NYS does not track or store your data

Types of Alerts You’ll Receive:

  • Severe weather alerts and safety tips
  • Major power outages
  • Emergency response details including shelter locations, warming centers, and more

This system is particularly valuable for staying connected to alerts in multiple areas—perfect for those with family, friends, or interests in other counties or boroughs.  This is part of the NYAlert Platform that Steuben County launched back in Februrary.

Stay safe and stay informed, Steuben County.
