2. Welcome!

   Welcome to the City! The Office of Communications (OCOM) manages the City's alert system and website.

   REQUIRED: Alert System

   Every City of Falls Church employee is required to have an account in the Employee Portal of the Falls Church Alerts system. Police and the Office of Communications send alerts to employees in case of snow delays and cancellations, building evacuations, special event emergencies, and more. 

   OPTIONAL: Website Editing

   Some City employees edit the website as part of their job. If you are unsure if this is part of your job, please ask your supervisor, then complete this form later.

   OCOM will send separate confirmations once you are registered in the alert system and as a website editor.
