Skagit County has launched Skagit Ready, a new community notification system that replaces the former CodeRED platform.
CodeRED went offline in late 2025 following a ransomware incident and is no longer available. Because this new system does not include past subscriber information, everyone must sign up again to continue receiving local alerts.
Skagit Ready provides helpful notifications about incidents, emerging situations, and preparedness information that can help you stay informed and ready. In urgent life-safety emergencies, alerts may still be sent through the federal Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), which reaches cell phones, radios, and televisions. You donβt need to opt-in for IPAWS alerts.
Sign up for Skagit Ready Alerts through this secure Smart911 platform. It is simple and doesnβt take long. You may choose how much information to share. Any additional details can help 911 dispatchers and first responders better assist you and your household during an emergency.
Ready communities are stronger communities. ππ π¦πππππ§ π₯ππππ¬!
