If you are registered to receive Notify NYC alerts and notifications, you may see a caller ID with “212 NEWYORK” or the number (212) 639-9675 on your phone.

The City of New York provides a Senior Alert system to help locate missing seniors at risk. These notifications are sent through the City's Notify NYC system to subscribers in the borough of the missing person. The public will be asked to call in any tips to a special number.

Notify NYC is the City of New York's official source for information about emergency events and important City services.

Since each profile is password protected, only users can register themselves and change their profiles and passwords. Subscribers can also remove their profiles from the database if they wish to no longer receive the notifications.

You can log into your Notify NYC account to suspend and opt out of the service. These options are located at the bottom of the "Account Settings" page. Because each account is password-protected only users can remove themselves from the program.
