The Blaine County Community Alert System, (BCCAS), powered by CodeRED is part of Blaine County’s effort to continuously improve communications during emergency situations within Blaine County. Through the alert system, pre-recorded alert notifications are sent by the emergency communications center in a variety of communication methods such as:
- Cellular
- Email
- Landline
- SMS (Text Messaging)
- Social network (Facebook and Twitter)
The system also provides an added enhancement of alerts sent through the CodeRED mobile App.
In the case of an emergency, you may choose to receive notifications via one or all of these communication methods. It’s recommended that you register several media options to receive messages in the event a particular communication device is unavailable.

Disclaimer
The Blaine County Community Alert System will only be activated in emergency situations where there is a risk of significant harm, an urgent threat, or when a general alert is needed. When such a situation occurs, a brief message will be sent, updating or instructing residents to seek additional information from other sources.
This system is not intended to be the sole source for emergency notifications and should not be relied upon exclusively. We can make no guarantee that every person will receive an emergency notification in every situation or guarantee accuracy, completeness, or delivery since phone lines may be down, cell phones may be turned off, etc. Blaine County assumes no responsibility for incorrect information provided by participants, dropped calls, misrouted calls, or other occurrences which may result in notification failures.
