Local Alerts for Local Emergencies -- The County of Sonoma has a new emergency notification system and it’s called SoCoAlert. If you register, you will receive first-hand instructions to protect lives and property should an emergency threaten your location. You will not receive non-emergency announcements such as traffic delays or notices of community events. With
SoCoAlert you’ll be able to receive alerts via home phone, text, email, social media, Voice over Internet Phone (VoIP), and TTY/TDD phones for the hearing impaired.
Sign-up online at SoCoAlert.com or by phone at 866-939-0911. Download the free app from CodeRED and receive notifications where you are! Get your friends and family to sign up and be informed.
