Texting STOP to an Everbridge notification will prevent all future TEXT notifications to your device. In order to resume text notifications, text RESUME to 88911 within 30 days. After 30 days, your phone number will be removed from your account. You will still continue to receive any notifications to other delivery methods, but you will not receive any notifications to the number you texted STOP from, including emergency notifications from Arlington Alert.
