Annual Test of CodeRED Emergency Alert System Scheduled for August 16
July 22, 2021, Nevada City As fires like the Dixie and Tamarack burn nearby, a community conversation around wildfire, evacuation, and emergency alert notifications has resurfaced. Residents are asking, ‘how will I know if I need to evacuate?’
A critical tool for staying informed of official evacuation warnings or orders that are issued by the Sheriff’s Office, or the Office of Emergency Services (OES), is the County’s opt-in emergency alert system CodeRED. This tool requires registration and will be used countywide, including in the Town of Truckee and the Cities of Grass Valley and Nevada City, to warn residents of an evacuation warning or evacuation order. A test of the system is scheduled for August 16, 2021. Residents and visitors spending time in the area are urged to register to receive the test alert and any critical emergency notifications this wildfire season.
