If you have a landline with Qwest, you are automatically in the ALERT Spokane database. However, if you use a cellular phone it must be self-registered with ALERT Spokane. Self-registration is also necessary for Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) phones, email contacts, etc. as alternative methods of notification.
