Sign Up for CodeRED Emergency Alerts
Luzerne and Columbia County use the CodeRED notification system to send emergency messages (phone calls, texts, emails, etc.) to residents for all types of emergencies. Even if you have a publicly listed landline telephone, it is very important to sign up in the CodeRED system before an emergency to ensure you do not miss important information. When you sign up, you can choose how you want to receive emergency messages and for what locations (home, work, school, etc.).
