Chelan and Douglas Counties Switch to a New Emergency Alert System

Beginning April 1, Chelan and Douglas counties will switch to a new emergency alert system called Everbridge.


The Everbridge Emergency Alert System sends emergency alerts via text, email or voicemail in both English and Spanish. The system is used for emergency alerts, such as evacuations, as well as potential safety hazards, such as boil water orders.


Both counties formerly used AlertSense for emergency messaging. For users registered with AlertSense, their information will automatically transfer to Everbridge.
