Important Notice: If you have already registered with CodeRed, you must re-register with the new system.
 
In order to better serve our residents and businesses, effective March 1, 2009, La Palma is joining the new County of Orange emergency mass notification system. AlertOC is a joint County/City mass notification system designed to keep residents and businesses informed of emergencies and certain community events. Residents and businesses are strongly encouraged to register their personal contacts into its confidential database. By registering with AlertOC, time-sensitive voice messages from the County or City may be sent to your home, cell or business phone. Text messages may also be sent to cell phones, e-mail accounts and hearing impaired receiving devices.

AlertOC can be activated on regional or neighborhood-specific levels to deliver messages directly to affected individuals via phone, email or text. The system is pre-loaded with all landline phone numbers. However, phone service provided through cable or cell companies is not included and these customers must self-register. Additionally, residents or businesses need to self-register additional contact points, such as cell phone numbers or email addresses, in order to maximize the system’s effectiveness.
