Alert Yakima - Public Access

The Alert Yakima - Public Access system allows responders to contact you when there is a hazard that is or will be affecting you. We will issue evacuation orders, shelter in place orders, or provide other emergency information to keep you informed ensure your safety. 

We utilize the mapping feature in this system to target the specific areas that might be or will be impacted by a hazard. If there is a large event that may impact large portions of the county we can activate the IPAWS system and send out messages to everyone in the county via cell phone, television, and radio. 

Below are a couple of photos that show all the locations in our system and how we can geographically target an area when sending an alert. While it may look like we have everyone in the county in the system we only have 80,000, please take the time to sign up today.
