Siskiyou County Emergency Alerting Software Upgrade Announcement

SISKIYOU COUNTY, CA - Over the last eleven years, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office, Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services (OES), CalFire, dispatchers, law enforcement, and other partners have relied on CodeRED as our main alert notification provider. As things have developed, and with the backing of local jurisdictions, the Siskiyou County Sheriff and the Office of Emergency Services have decided to upgrade to a new alert notification system to ReadySiskiyou-Alerts. 

The ReadySiskiyou-Alerts upgrade will provide you with a more reliable emergency alert system, ensuring enhanced safety and security for our community. With this upgrade, residents can expect improved response times during critical situations, allowing for quicker dissemination of vital information during emergencies such as fires, natural disasters, severe weather events, or public safety incidents.

The upgraded system will offer increased accuracy and specificity in alert notifications, enabling residents to make informed decisions swiftly to safeguard themselves and their loved ones. Whether it's evacuating a designated area or taking necessary precautions, the upgraded ReadySiskiyou-Alerts system will provide clearer and more actionable guidance, ultimately minimizing risks and ensuring the well-being of our community members. By investing in this upgrade, we prioritize our residents' safety and security, reaffirming our commitment to proactive emergency management and response.
