After you pay for a subscriber account, you can provide mapped locations in Co. Mayo and this will let us know which alerts you should receive. All alerts are localised, so if you live in Strandhill then you will only receive alerts for this part of the county. This ensures your alerts are always relevant. You can opt in and out of a number of alert categories, depending on your preferences.

There is complete, countywide coverage for all parts of Co. Mayo.  

Most features on this service are premium features, meaning that you need to have an active subscriber account to access them. For example, if you do not have a subscriber account then you will only be able to browse the Live Map but you won't be able to read full information on any alert.

Your subscription is based on an annual payment, and you can renew at the end of your subscription period. If your subscription expires then you will stop receiving alerts.

It is quick and easy to register for a subscriber account, and you are eligble to receive alerts as soon as your account is created..

1. Alerts are always localised, meaning you will only receive updates from us when something impacts your mapped local areas. The benefit here is that you won't be bombarded with alerts from across the county, and each alert will be local in nature.
2. This service is a huge time saver. If you find yourself couring planning lists, or browsing OPW/EPA websites for water updates then we will do all the searching on your behalf and let you know when something may impact you.
3. There is no cost to receive alerts once you create your subscriber account. Email alerts are always free, and SMS alerts for Co. Mayo severe weather warnings are also free.

If your text alert group wishes to switch over to Mayo Alerts then it means that you can provide your Text Alert service here. Please contact us if you are interested in switching your Mayo community text alert group over to MayoAlerts.ie.

No! You will receive as many alerts as necessary, depending on the number of locations you provide and the number of alerts that are issued.

For most categories, No. This service is limited to alerts that are issued by data providers for Co. Mayo. However, Mayo Alerts is analysing all 31 planning registers from across the country, so if you register a map location on the Mayo-Leitrim border then you may also receive occasional alerts from Leitrim's planning register. The same applies to planning activity at border areas near Roscommon, Mayo and possibly South Donegal.
