Fall River County has switched to a new alert system. County emergency alerts will now be sent out using the Everbridge system instead of CodeRED. A link to sign up for Everbridge is located on the Fall River County website homepage.
This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as wildfire evacuations, severe weather, unexpected road closures, flooding, and public safety power shutoffs.
You choose how you receive messages, such as your home, mobile or business phones, email address, text messages and more. You also choose the locations you want alerts for such as your home, business, a family member’s home, or your storage unit. You pick where, you pick how.
I signed up for CodeRED prior to March 2025 |
I signed up for CodeRED during or after March 2025 |
| If you signed up for CodeRED prior to March 2025 then your registered contact information was transferred to Everbridge. We would still encourage you to sign up with the new Everbridge system for two reasons. 1. There is not a way for you to log-in and change your contact information that was transferred from CodeRED. 2. Any weather alerts you signed up for did not transfer over from CodeRED. (If you have the mobile app you may still get weather alerts there.) If I do this, won’t I end up signed up twice? We check the new Everbridge registrations. When one is a duplicate of a CodeRED transfer we delete the old CodeRED information. |
| If you signed up for CodeRED during or after March 2025 your registration was not part of the system backup from the CodeRED data breach. This means your contact information was lost, and you are not currently signed up for alerts. Please register with Everbridge. |
Other Questions:
What about the CodeRED data breach? What information was stolen? According to the final report we received from CodeRED, while the attack on their system corrupted much of the data in their database there was little evidence of the data being extracted.
What about the CodeRED mobile app? The old CodeRED app does not appear to be working since the data breach happened. We would recommend removing it from your phone.
Does Everbridge have an app? Yes, search for ‘Public Safety by Everbridge’ in the Google Play or App store. This is also the same app used the by the City of Hot Springs Police Department. So if you already have that app just add Fall River County as another of your organizations.
