ALERT Barnes County, Public Safety Notification System Launches

Barnes County has just launched “ALERT Barnes County”, a mass notification system that notifies registered users of important emergency information pertaining to severe weather, police & fire emergencies, public health crises, etc. You have complete control over alerts and can choose the delivery method of your choice: text, email, or phone call. Barnes County will no longer utilize or carry CodeRED. That means you will NEED to re-sign up through the ALERT Barnes County Everbridge Portal in order to receive notifications!

You can sign up online at https://member.everbridge.net/index/892807736729933#/signup

Everbridge also has an app you can download that is extremely user friendly!
