CodeRED Emergency Alerts

Otter Tail County and our community partners keep residents and businesses informed of emergencies and other time-sensitive information through CodeRED, a high-speed emergency notification system capable of delivering emergency messages by landline and cellular telephone, and text and email messages.

Notifications can be sent to individual neighborhoods or communities, or the entire county for critical situations like weather, missing persons, and evacuation notices.
