What's Alert FM?

Kincardine Alert (RAVE) is an app designed to communicate with the public before, during, and after an emergency. It's available to anyone in the Municipality and it's FREE. There's no spam and you should only receive notifications when we're testing (annually in July) or when there's an actual emergency. Sign-up today!
What are the Bruce Power Sirens?
