If you live in or visit Southwest Colorado, staying informed can make a critical difference. LPC Alerts is La Plata County’s official emergency notification system, designed to keep you updated on fast-changing conditions in Durango, the surrounding Rocky Mountains, and remote backcountry areas. Whether you are at home, on a trail, or traveling through the region, LPC Alerts delivers timely, location-based notifications directly to your phone or email.
As La Plata County transitions away from CodeRED, this new system offers improved reliability and customization. Now is the time to register and ensure you receive alerts that matter most to you.
LPC Alerts, hosted by Regroup, provides immediate updates on emergencies such as wildfires, severe weather, evacuations, and public safety incidents. These notifications are targeted, meaning you only receive alerts relevant to your selected locations.
In a county where terrain ranges from desert canyons to high alpine environments, conditions can change rapidly. Early notification allows individuals and families to make informed decisions quickly.
