Public safety officials in Douglas County have rolled out DougCoAlert to all Douglas County residents, replacing the previous CodeRed system.
DougCoAlert is a free service that allows individuals to receive notifications sent from state and local authorities to stay informed on potentially hazardous situations involving natural disasters (wildfires, floods, severe storms), evacuations and shelter-in-place orders, law enforcement activities, and public safety emergencies.
The switch to DougCoAlert allows residents to receive alerts via phone, text and email, and answer poll questions that will give Douglas County officials critical information during emergency situations. Individuals who are signed up for alerts will receive reliable information, including tailored updates based on their specific needs and geographic location.
Individuals who were previously signed up for CodeRed will not be automatically enrolled in DougCoAlert and are encouraged to sign up for DougCoAlert to add information to the new platform. Residents and travelers to Douglas County who were not previously signed up for CodeRed should sign up for free at DougCoAlert.com to receive timely and actionable emergency alerts via email, text, or voice message. They can also identify when and how they are alerted and communicated with before, during, and after emergencies.
Community members are encouraged to sign up for DougCoAlert and input or update their information and notification preferences today at DougCoAlert.com.
DougCoAlert serves all residents, workers, and visitors of the following jurisdictions: Douglas County, Colorado, and all cities within it, including Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Franktown, Sedalia and Larkspur.
