Hood County Office of Emergency Management and 911Announcement

Hood County will switch to Everbridge Mass Notification System starting July 1, 2021, for all information about sever weather, road closures, events and office closures. This new system works similar to the previous system by sending out messages via email, phone and text to make sure you know about issues that may affect your safety.

During the Everbridge launch, our office will also be launching a special needs and assistance program. During the Everbridge sign-up process, residents will have the ability to select a variety of needs they may have. This information will allow local emergency response teams to better understand the needs of the community.

How Does It Work?

The process begins when Hood County issues a message about a potential safety hazard or concern. Next, The Everbridge emergency notification system sends a message through your primary contact path. If you don’t confirm receipt of the message, the system will try to reach your second contact path and continues trying to reach you until you confirm receipt.

The success of this service relies on YOU. Having your latest contact information is the only way to ensure that we can contact you in an emergency.
