Register Your Cell Phone To Receive Emergency Notification Alerts

SIGN UP today and share the types of alerts and notifications that you would like to receive, as well as your contact information and preferences.


Are you signed up to receive emergency alerts? Public safety partners in Lane County have updated their emergency alerting service. Everyone in Lane County is encouraged to sign up - even if you had previously registered for AlertMe (the old system).

Go to www.LaneAlerts.org to create a free Lane Alerts account and select where and how you would like to receive emergency alerts. You can also text your ZIP code to 888777.

Lane Alerts allows people to opt-in to receive notifications via phone call, text message, and email based on locations they care about. You can choose to receive notifications about emergency events that may affect your home, workplace, child's school, etc. The types of emergencies that people may receive alerts about include evacuations, severe weather, flooding, police activity, and more.

Learn more at www.LaneAlerts.org. Stay safe and informed!

Some of the many uses of the system include:

  • Tsunami Warnings
  • Emergency Evacuations
  • Natural Disaster Alerts
  • Missing Child Alerts
  • Hazardous Material Incidents
  • Neighborhood Emergencies

Keep in mind that Lane Alerts is an excellent enhancement to our effort to share emergency information with our citizens, but registration will not guarantee notification of any specific event. You are still encouraged to visit Lane County Public Safety Agencies' websites and to stay tuned to local news channels and radio stations during a community crisis.
