MendoAlert

MendoAlert (Everbridge) is the primary system used to notify the public of emergencies in Mendocino County. This system allows registered users to receive emergency alerts and notifications via text message, phone calls, and/or email. Alerts and notifications are sent to a specific geographic area, and only registered users in that area are notified. For example, a resident living in Fort Bragg would not be notified of an emergency in Hopland. 

Nixle

Nixle is a secondary notification tool which is integrated with MendoAlert. Generally, Nixle only sends notifications via text message to cells phones. Residents can register for all notifications affecting their zip code by texting their zip code to 888777 or can register for all Nixle alerts sent in the Mendocino County by texting MendoAlerts to 888777. Mendocino County generally sends MendoAlert notifications to Nixle as well, but not always. We recommend that all users registered with Nixle also register with MendoAlert.

Watch Duty

Watch Duty alerts you of nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts in real time. Using satellite imagery and other official sources you can easily track and monitor the progress of a fire.

MyShake

MyShake uses ShakeAlert information from US Geological Survey seismic stations to alert users across California. Alerts are not sent out for all felt events—just for potentially damaging earthquakes. An alert means that an earthquake has begun and shaking is expected soon. If you are near the epicenter, your alert may not arrive before the shaking does. Drop, Cover, and Hold On when you get an alert or feel shaking.
