The Alabama Department of Transportation establishes bi-directional communications with the public during an emergency or event. It allows Alabama state government agencies (AGENCIES) to use a variety of mechanisms to both distribute and receive information about users in a targeted geographic area.
While the AGENCIES will at all times attempt to provide accurate and timely information, and this service will attempt to deliver the information in a timely manner, there is no guarantee of its accuracy or timeliness. Use of this system is voluntary.
When using the location service, we will request your permission to obtain your location through your mobile phone’s browser. Your location information will be used so that AGENCIES can be better prepared to respond appropriately to the situation at hand, and communicate location-relevant messages back to registered users. You may receive a notice from your browser saying that this site wants to know your location. If you grant permission, the agency may be aware of your approximate location at the time you grant your permission. From time to time during the course of this event, the agency may request an update to your location.
Your privacy is important to us and so this service uses only secure HTTPS communication with SSL Encryption to obtain data. When using this service, your location will be used by AGENCIES to gather information from you that will help the AGENCIES to respond appropriately to the situation at hand, and to communicate back to you with location-relevant messages to assist you throughout the event. Access to user location data during the event is restricted to authenticated users from Alabama state government agencies. Your location data will be stored for the duration of the event (up to ten days), after which you will be automatically opted out of all services, and personally identifying information (your phone number) will be removed from the database. Un-identifiable location data may be retained for the purpose of after-action reviews and audits.
Your location data (latitude, longitude and accuracy estimate) is shared with Alabama state government agencies which may include Alabama DOT, the Alabama State Police, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, and other approved agencies for the purpose of directing emergency response. Your location data will not be shared with any other parties or used for any other purpose than its intended use. All location data is obtained using only secure HTTPS communication with SSL Encryption. AGENCIES access to the data is protected with multiple authentication protocols. Access to user location data during the event is restricted to authenticated users from Alabama state government agencies.
When using this service, we will be sending text messages to your mobile phone so that AGENCIES can communicate updates and safety information messages to registered users. Your consent to opt-in to the texting service will be obtained using an SMS text message or IVR telephone-based process, depending on the preference you indicate when registering with the event. If SMS text messaging is selected, you will be sent a text message that confirms your consent to be contacted via text messages. If the IVR telephone-based option is selected, you will receive a phone call confirming your registration.
Please note, when opting for these recurring SMS text messages, message and data rates may apply. You can Reply INFO to 34421 to learn more about the service. You can Reply STOP to 34421 to cancel. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Please Call 911 if you are having an emergency.
SMS restrictions and account limitations: If you are attempting to opt-in to this service and the SMS text message confirming your registration has not arrived to your phone or you received the messages, but when you attempt to reply to the message, you do not receive a response, then it is likely that your mobile phone account is configured to block text messages from Short Codes. Short codes are non-standard phone numbers, and may also be known as Promotional Codes or Computer Generated Codes. To fix this challenge, contact your wireless phone carrier and ask that they enable your account to receive text messages from the Short Code 34421. Make sure to inquire how long it will take for the change to be effective so that you can try again.
When using this service, you can opt-out at any time by texting STOP to the Short Code 34421. You will not receive further texts after this unless you register to use the service again.
You will be automatically opted out of the service after the event(s) for which you registered has/have been closed. You will not receive further texts after this unless you register to use the service again.
Your privacy is important to us. When using this service, your phone number will be used by AGENCIES in order to provide information regarding the event, and to provide supplementary safety information to assist you throughout the event. Access to this system during the event is restricted to authenticated users from Alabama state government agencies. Your text message data will be stored for the duration of the event (up to ten days), after which you will be automatically opted out of texting services.
