Public safety officials in Douglas County announced today that DougCoAlert is now available to all residents, replacing the previous CodeRed system. Even if you were signed up for the previous system, you must register with the new platform to get emergency alerts.

DougCoAlert is a free service that allows individuals to receive notifications sent from state and local authorities to stay informed on potentially hazardous situations involving natural disasters (wildfires, floods, severe storms), evacuations and shelter-in-place orders, law enforcement activities, and public safety emergencies.

The switch to DougCoAlert allows residents to receive alerts via phone, text and email.
