New and Improved City News Categories Delivered to Your Email Inbox!
You're receiving this message because you currently subscribe to the City's News - News Flash through Notify Me on the City's website. Currently, the City shares all news releases, public service announcements, public notices, City news, programs, and events information through one source, the City News - News Flash.

To improve communications and give residents and visitors more control over the information they receive from the City, we're moving away from one catch-all News Flash category. We have created three new categories: City News & Announcements, News Releases, and Public Notices. These categories will allow for more targeted messaging, and individuals can choose the information they want to receive. Changes will go into effect in January 2023.

City News Flash - New Categories

City News & Announcements - Sign up to receive notifications for city news, stories, programs, and services, public service announcements, road closures, public participation opportunities, city events, and more!
News Releases - Sign up to receive official statements and announcements from the City of Valdez.
Public Notices - Sign up to receive public notices. Public notices may include public meeting notices, ordinances, development/planning issues, liquor licenses, etc. A public notice is information alerting individuals of government or government-related activities that may cause an individual to take action.
