The notifications are primarily done through landline, cell phone, text message and email.
"By utilizing the CodeRED emergency alerting system, we’re able to streamline and make the process much more efficient in the way we notify residents of actual emergencies including imminent threats, saving time and redirecting valuable resources elsewhere that we need to protect our community in times of crisis,” said Lake County Sheriff Brian Martin.

Community members also can call the Lake County Office of Emergency Services at 707-263-1813 for assistance.
