Where is my alert?

To ensure that your GovDirections daily reports, alerts and notifications end up in your inbox, and are not mistakenly sent to the junk folder, please add GovDirections to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. This is commonly known as “whitelisting” or "adding to safe senders list". In addition to whitelisting GovDirections yourself, it is recommended that you request that the domain GovDirections be whitelisted by your IT group.
