Stanton County EMA Announces Transition to Hyper-Reach Emergency Alerting System

Stanton County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) announced today that Stanton County has selected Hyper-Reach as its new emergency notification and public alerting platform. This next-generation system will enhance Stanton County’s ability to rapidly communicate critical information to residents and visitors during emergencies, helping protect lives and property.

Hyper-Reach is a public-safety-focused mass notification system trusted by thousands of agencies nationwide. Once fully operational, the system will serve as Stanton County’s primary alerting tool for severe weather, environmental hazards, public safety incidents, missing persons, road closures, evacuations, and other urgent situations. The County expects the system to be fully operational by the end of January 2026.

The emergency alert system can deliver notifications through multiple channels, including phone calls, text messages, emails, FEMA Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), social media, browser notifications, Alexa-enabled smart speakers, and TTY/TDD services for the hearing impaired. Alerts can be targeted geographically, allowing the County to notify specific areas quickly and efficiently.

“Our mission is to protect the residents and visitors of Stanton County as effectively and efficiently as possible,” said Mike Frohberg, Director of Emergency Management for Stanton County. “After reviewing all major emergency notification providers, Hyper-Reach stood out as the best combination of capability, flexibility, and value. This platform gives us the ability to reach people quickly, using the communication methods they rely on most.”

Landline telephones are automatically enrolled to receive community emergency alerts. Residents who wish to receive weather alerts on landlines, or any alerts on mobile phones, VoIP phones, and email addresses, are encouraged to enroll in the system.

Residents and individuals who live, work, and visit, in Stanton County can sign up by:

• Calling or texting “Alert” to 402-396-2122, or

• Visiting: http://hyper-reach.com/nestantonsignup.html

Residents may also receive emergency alerts through Alexa-enabled smart speakers by saying, “Alexa, enable Hyper-Reach,” and following the instructions provided. In addition, the free Hyper-Reach Anywhere smartphone app allows users to manage alerts for multiple locations, such as home, work, or addresses of family members.

“We’re honored to partner with the Stanton County Emergency Management Agency and Stanton County to provide critical emergency alerts,” said Barbra Yager, Sales and Marketing Manager at Hyper-Reach. “Helping communities save lives and protect property is at the core of what we do.”

More information about the new alerting system, including public outreach and enrollment reminders, will be shared by Stanton County EMA in the coming weeks through its website and social media platforms.
