Huerfano County Launches New Emergency Notification System.

The CodeRed™ system provides county officials with the ability to provide pre-recorded emergency telephone notification/information messages to targeted areas or the entire county.  Residents and businesses located within the city limits are encouraged to sign up for CodeRed™ to be sure they receive timely emergency notifications when alerts are issued.  Just click on the CODE RED logo below to get started.

The Office of Emergency Management will attempt to keep this page up to-date during an emergency. However, residents should not depend upon this site but should instead monitor local media for the latest emergency information.  Residents of Huerfano County should tune into KSPK or watch the local channels.
