Harm Reduction Providers

Resources

The following steps outline how Harm Reduction Providers would sign-up and register for access to SIREN/HAN.

SIREN (State of Illinois Rapid Electronic Notification), has a self-registration process at www.siren.illinois.gov to receive important notifications from The Illinois Department of Public Health.

Steps to complete registration:

  1. Select your organizations. Filter using IDPH, then click on the gray Select Organization button. 
  2. Expand DPH-Partners
  3. Place a checkmark next to DPH – Harm Reduction Providers. Only select this organization as you will be rejected out of all others.
  4. Please use your firstname.lastname as your username.
    • Ex) john.smith
  5. The password must adhere to the password requirements.
  6. Ensure that you add your work email, work phone, and an alternate phone (mobile phone or home phone) where SIREN can reach you in the event of an emergency.
    • If you wish to receive Text Messages, please add the option SMS/Text MSG with each appropriate mobile phone number.
  7. Add the SIREN phone number (866-998-3678) to your mobile contacts.  This will help you determine when you are getting a SIREN alert notification and not a toll-free caller.
    • You can also add the SIREN text message numbers (246-39 & 542-92) to your newly created contact.

For more in-depth guidance on how to register, please see the linked guidance below.
