About These Alerts
This website (PublicAlerts.org) and the State of Oregon’s website (ORAlert.gov) are tools that help direct people to their county’s "opt-in" emergency alert system signup pages.
Each county has an emergency alerting system that allows them to send urgent information to people based on an address. In the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area, these alerts are called "PublicAlerts." You can receive PublicAlerts by text, voice, email, or landline. Personal information is kept secure and private. The service is free, but message and data rates may apply depending on your phone provider.
Texting your zip code to 888777 will not work in the Portland-Vancouver Region, but it might work in some other parts of Oregon and Washington. Learn more about emergency alerts.
