The Wood County Alert system (Everbridge) is currently active but has not yet been officially launched to the public. At this time, the system is utilizing a publicly available contact database, which is why some individuals may have received alerts without signing up.![]()

We are actively working with Everbridge to determine the cause of the repeated calls and to prevent this from happening in the future.![]()
Please do not block the notification number, as this system is intended to deliver critical, life-saving information during emergencies.![]()

Official sign-up information and instructions will be shared soon so residents can customize how and when they receive alerts.![]()
We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue and improve the system to better serve Wood County.![]()
