Stutsman Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist

Jamestown  (CSi) Starting February 1, 2019, Stutsman County will be changing its emergency notification service from CodeRED to a company called Everbridge.  Even though the change won’t occur for another few months, the process of making the switch has already begun.

Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist says CodeRED will continue to be utilized until the switch is made on February 1.  However, if you were registered for emergency notifications through the CodeRED system, you will need to re-register to continue receiving notifications from the new “Stutsman Alerts” system powered by Everbridge.

Registration can be accomplished by going to the Stutsman County website (www.co.stutsman.nd.us) and click on “Stutsman Alerts” at the bottom of the page or by calling Stutsman County Emergency Management at 701-252-9093.  There is no charge for the notification service.

Those individuals receiving their annual property tax statements in the mail over the next few days will also be receiving an insert briefly explaining the change in notification services.  As with CodeRED, all land-line telephone numbers will automatically be entered into the Everbridge system.  However, those individual with cell phones need to register their phone numbers in order to receive emergency notification messages.

Bergquist, adds, “We are currently in the process of learning the new “Stutsman Alerts” system powered by Everbridge.  But, we believe we’re ready for individuals who want to register their phones now in preparation for the February 1 switchover.”
