Already Signed Up? Update Your Information 

If you’re already a ClatsopALERTS! subscriber, step two is just as important: make sure your contact information and locations are up to date. 

“An outdated phone number, old address, or missing email could mean missing the alert when you need to act quickly,” said Jen Munson, Clatsop County Emergency Management Community Engagement Coordinator. “Just like scheduling an oil change or a 6-month dental cleaning, we recommend regular maintenance on your account, such as logging in twice a year to make sure your contact information, locations, and alert preferences are current.” 

Tips for Updating Your Profile 

1. Review your contact methods: phone, text, and email. 
2. Add up to five addresses you want covered: home, work, school, a loved one’s residence, or anywhere important to you. 
3. Include accessibility details, such as disabilities or evacuation needs, so responders have the right information. 
4. Check your subscriptions to make sure you’re signed up for severe weather alerts and other relevant categories. 

Even if you share a household, each person should have their own ClatsopALERTS! account to ensure each person receives lifesaving alerts.
