Alert and Warning

Make sure you are signed up for emergency alerts from both the City of Healdsburg and Sonoma County for disasters such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes. The City of Healdsburg uses Nixle to provide emergency information to our community and Sonoma County uses SoCoAlert. We also recommend that you get a NOAA weather radio to get weather-related emergency alerts from the National Weather Service.
