Getting started with Stearns County email updates
- Begin by providing your email address to our subscription site.
- Set a password to your account. A password controls how your email address is subscribed and unsubscribed to the system, and protects from others subscribing you without your permission.
- After submitting your password, you'll be taken to the Quick Subscribe page, where you can continue to subscribe to any of our other email alert services. Make your selections and click Save. You will then be asked to fill out an optional brief survey.
- Activate your subscription request. You will be sent a message to your email account, asking you to confirm your request by following an included link.
Manage your personal email profile anytime through your Subscriber Preferences.
NEW! Several of our updates now have text messaging enabled. You can subscribe to these topics with a phone number instead of or in addition to email. You would receive a short summary of the updated information and learn more by visiting our website.
