Sign up for emergency alerts through the county’s new alerting system, Everbridge.
The County and partner agencies can issue emergency alerts through Everbridge to all of Washington County or to specific affected neighborhoods.
You can choose which types of alerts to receive, like severe weather, missing persons, evacuations, critical utility outages like boil water notices and other public safety information. You can select to receive alerts by landline phone, cell phone, email, text message and more.
Everbridge replaces CodeRED. If you currently receive CodeRED alerts, you still need to sign up to Everbridge to keep receiving alerts. Your information will not be transferred automatically.
By switching to the Everbridge alert system, Washington County joins OR-Alert, the statewide alert and warning program. OR-Alert seeks to ensure that all Oregonians can receive critical emergency warnings, no matter what county they are in. OR-Alert also gives first responders a powerful way to quickly send targeted emergency information to communities threatened by hazards like wildfires and floods.
Getting emergency alerts gives you power to act quickly. It could save your life and the lives of your loved ones. More information
