ClatsopALERTS! Users Encouraged To Customize Profiles And Opt-in To Weather Alerts (Photo) - 09/26/25

Customizing ensures you get the right alerts, the right way, at the right time

 

ASTORIA, OR — Clatsop County Emergency Management is encouraging all residents to opt in for National Weather Service alerts when signing up for or updating their ClatsopALERTS! accounts. These automated alerts are the fastest way to receive critical weather updates.

 

“ClatsopALERTS! will only tell you what you need to know, but customizing your profile makes those alerts even more effective,” said Jen Munson, Clatsop County Emergency Management Community Engagement Coordinator. “By adding your locations and preferences, you’ll get the right alerts at the right time, in the way that works best for you.”

 

Why Customize Your Profile?

 

By updating your ClatsopALERTS! settings, you can:

 

• Receive more timely and relevant alerts

 

• Add up to five different addresses: home, work, school, or a loved one’s residence

 

• Choose quiet hours if you don’t want non-urgent alerts overnight

 

• Opt-in to specific weather alerts for faster, automated warnings

 

Automatic Weather Alerts You Already Receive

 

When you sign up for ClatsopALERTS!, you will automatically receive the most critical National Weather Service information. These required alerts cannot be unchecked in your profile:

 

• Tsunamis

 

• Flash Floods

 

• Coastal Flooding

 

• Tornadoes

 

“You’ll see these options 'greyed out' in your account settings because they are required alerts,” said Munson. "You’ll always get these life-safety warnings no matter what.”

 

Clatsop County provides the alert system and pushes out timely, accurate notifications. Residents, in turn, need to do their part by signing up, keeping their contact information current, and customizing their profiles.

 

Need Help Customizing Your Alerts?

 

We’ve created a quick step-by-step tutorial to walk you through updating your profile. Creating a customized account with weather alerts helps us reach you more effectively with the information you want.
