As promised, we have retired the CodeRed alert system and have something new that we are calling alertYAVAPAI. This system will function much in the same way you are used to – sign up and receive alerts on multiple platforms – phone, email and text.
Yavapai County residents are encouraged to sign up for alertYAVAPAI, which is the Emergency Mass Notification System that enhances our ability to quickly communicate with the public and provide critical and time-sensitive information for emergencies such as wildfires, evacuations, floods and missing persons. By registering for alertYAVAPAI, you can receive alerts via cell phone by voice or text, email addresses, home phone, business phone, and more.
How Does It Work?
It will work in the same way CodeRed worked, by sending you alerts during an emergency or other need to know events. We will continue to use the Ready, Set, Go alerts in reference to evacuations. The system is easy to use, and the instructions for confirming messages will be included in the notification. If we do not reach you on the first attempt, the system may try another phone number or alternate method of communication, such as text messaging or email.
