Bremer County's emergency notification system is changing from Code Red to Alert Iowa. What does this mean for you? Most importantly, weather announcements will now be provided, based on options selected.

All users will automatically receive Hazardous Materials, Law Enforcement, Shelter In Place and Tornado Warnings. Please note that Blizzard, Flood and Winter Storm Warning Alerts will only be received between 6 am and 10 pm.

You must register with Alert Iowa to take advantage of the new system. In order to receive both text and voice alerts, you must enter your cell phone number twice. Select the “Text” option the first time and the “Voice” option the second time.
