Door County is trying to help keep you and your family safe in case of emergency. The Emergency Management and Communications Department of Door County is urging people to sign up for its mass notification system called Code Red. The Code Red system allows emergency officials to alert people using phone calls, texts, emails, and social media messages. Door County Emergency Management and Communications director Dan Kane says about 12,000 people are signed up for Code Red. Ideally, everyone who lives in Door County all year round or has a second home here would be signed up for Code Red alerts.

You can enroll in Code Red by going to www.co.door.wi.gov and scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking the Code Red icon on the left side of the screen.
