ABOUT TAHOE-TRUCKEE EMERGENCY ALERT

• Some properties within Placer County have Truckee in their mailing address but are in fact outside the Town of Truckee limits. In these cases CodeRED will not accept the address. Examples are in areas such as Martis Camp and Northstar. Placer County residents and visitors need to sign up for Placer Alert for messaging from the public safety agencies in their area.
• If an address is not within Nevada County limits but people would still like to get CodeRED emergency alerts they can register for CodeRED by inputting an address that is within Nevada County limits. Whether they do this by creating an account or enrolling as a guest, they will need to use an address that is within Nevada County. This will not impact anyone else registering and will provide information about emergency alerts that are related to the location of the address that is used. People should pick an address which is closest to their address for the most accurate information that would impact them.
• If people do not know a Nevada County address, they can use Truckee Town Hall at 10183 Truckee Airport Rd, Truckee, CA 96161. Please note that they will be receiving general alerts for the entire Truckee area and for the specific zoning of the address they use.
