New Yorkers can now register with the state’s NY-ALERT system to receive e-mail, text message, fax or telephone notifications when moderate and high-risk sex offenders move.

The sex-offender information is new to the Emergency Management Office’s NY-ALERT system, established in September 2007, which offers emergency data such as road closings, weather warnings, public-health advisories and Amber Alerts for missing children.

NY-ALERT provides information about Level 3 (high-risk) and Level 2 (moderate-risk) sex offenders. By law, the state can only give details about Level 1 (low-risk) offenders through a toll-free number, 800-262-3257.

Register for the alerts through the Department of Criminal Justice Services.
