Peak Alerts are notifications sent through a software called Everbridge by public safety agencies in El Paso and Teller Counties.  Peak Alerts notify you of emergency situations that are a threat to life or property and are deemed dangerous by public safety officials.  Examples of emergency situations may include but is not limited to, natural or man-made disasters, hazardous materials incidents, missing persons, law enforcement activity impacting the public, evacuation notices, and more.

Peak Alerts notify you of emergencies that happen near your registered address(es) or current location (if you are using the Everbridge app).  To sign-up for these alerts, you must create an account with your contact information to include your address and at least one contact method.  The information you provide is protected and will not be used for any other purpose.  You choose how you want to receive these messages.  Messages can be sent via text, phone call, email, mobile app, fax, and more. When you confirm receipt of a message, the system will stop attempting to contact you. If you do not confirm the message, the system will continue to attempt to reach your other registered contact methods.

It is important to note that during an emergency, you should use as many forms of communication as possible to stay informed.  Stay tuned to news broadcasts, radio stations, social media, websites, weather radios, etc. It is recommended that you signup as an individual rather than a household as notifications will stop once a user confirms receipt of the message. If at any time you feel you are in danger, you should take whatever action you feel is necessary to get yourself to safety.

The Board of Directors is aware of past  situations where homeowners and neighborhood representatives have taken actions directly with vendor contractors or have procured materials.   Under Colorado law and consistent with PCVA By-Laws, only the Board of Directors and our Community Association Manager may legally plan, coordinate, task and direct contractors and obligate PCVA funds for services and materials.   Under NO circumstance is any homeowner or neighborhood representatives allowed to represent PCVA to solicit proposals, coordinate or direct work.   Homeowners and neighborhood representatives should identify requirements and must only work with the sole PCVA Managing Agent (Hammersmith) provided by the Board.  Homeowners that direct contractor work may be held liable for any PCVA costs incurred--an unfortunate situation the Board wishes to avoid at all times.
