Blaine County Community Notification Registration (1 27 26)

Blaine County has transitioned its community and emergency notification services to a new software provider. The Smart911 / Rave Alert system is now active, and residents are encouraged to register to continue receiving important alerts.

As with the former CodeRED system, Smart911 / Rave Alert allows residents and visitors to receive timely notifications related to emergencies, road closures, severe weather, public safety incidents, wildfires and other critical information via phone call, text message, or email, updates. To enroll, simply create a Smart911 profile, at the County's link provided above. You can add multiple phone numbers, including cell phones and out-of-state numbers. There is the option to opt in to Emergency Alerts, Community Alerts and Weather alerts. You can choose just one, two, or all three.

Blaine County’s contract with OnSolve, the provider of CodeRED, expires this January. As a result, the CodeRED notification system will no longer be in service. To continue receiving emergency alerts from Blaine County, residents must re-register using the new Smart911 / Rave Alert system.Additional information about Smart911 is available at www.smart911.com.

Registration for Smart911 / Rave Alert is free and can be completed in just a few minutes by:

• Visiting: www.smart911.com Registration Link

• Texting “Blaine” to 226787

• Accessing the registration link on the Blaine County website

Participation ensures residents receive accurate, up-to-date information when it matters most. Blaine County strongly encourages all residents to register and take advantage of this important public safety tool.

Be prepared, have a plan, and stay informed. If you have questions about the information collected with the Smart911 option or need help signing up, please call Chris Corwin with Blaine County at 208-788-5508 or email at ccorwin@blainecountyid.gov.

Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping Blaine County safe.

Be prepared, have a plan, and stay informed.
