Transition to NextGen WaterAlert NOW
From now until September 30th, 2022, current users of WaterAlert will be able to take 3 simple steps to transfer their alerts to the Next Generation system. Users will receive an email with a unique link to the transition page for their specific alerts. We anticipate this process taking 5 minutes or less for most users.
The transition opens today, August 22nd, 2022 and will close on September 30th, 2022.

📩 Check your email!
Current users of Legacy WaterAlert will be able to take 3 simple steps to transfer their alerts to the Next Generation system. Users should have received an email from us with a unique link to the transition page for their specific alerts. YOU MUST CLICK THE LINK IN YOUR EMAIL TO TRANSITION. We anticipate this process taking 5 minutes or less for most users. Users who do not transition following that first email will continue to receive emails until they either transition, or until the transition period closes.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.
