Users will take 3 simple steps to transition to NextGen WaterAlert: login, transfer alerts, verify they’re all there, and you’re done!
Step 1: Login
Public users will use login.gov , the public’s one account for government services. If you don’t have a login.gov account, it takes only a few minutes and 3 pieces of information to create an account . You’ll need your email address, a secure password, and one or more authentication methods.
USGS users will use their active directory credentials to seamlessly login to WaterAlert with one click.
Step 2: Transfer alerts
Choose which alerts to transfer to NextGen WaterAlert. When in doubt, select all since you won’t be able to return to this transition page.
Step 3: Verify
You’re all done. Click My Alerts to verify that your alerts transitioned successfully. From here, you can edit, delete, and pause existing alerts, and create new alerts.
