Residents encouraged to sign up for new alert system

January 22, 2026

WISE COUNTY – Wise County residents are strongly encouraged to register for the new Wise County Resident Alert System, powered by Everbridge, which is replacing the CodeRED notification system.

This registration is especially important as a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the area this weekend, January 24–25, 2026.

The new alert system provides timely and critical notifications on:

Severe winter weather

Road conditions

Public safety incidents

Other critical community information

By enrolling, residents can receive alerts through multiple methods, including phone calls, text messages, and emails, based on their personal preferences. Officials stress the importance of having multiple ways to receive these emergency updates.

Important Reminders:

Residents who were previously registered with CodeRED must sign up for the new system to continue receiving notifications.

Participation is free, and all personal contact information will be used solely for emergency notification purposes.

Residents are also encouraged to closely monitor local weather forecasts and make plans accordingly. Preparedness guidance, including information on creating an emergency plan for winter weather, is available at ready.gov/plan.

Please take a few minutes to register now to stay informed and prepared as winter weather approaches.
