If you live in or visit Southwest Colorado, staying informed can make a critical difference.

What Is LPC Alerts and Why It Matters

Real-Time Emergency Notifications

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.

Built for Local and Backcountry Users

Unlike older systems, LPC Alerts is designed with flexibility in mind. You can register multiple addresses, including your home, workplace, or frequently visited recreation areas. This is especially valuable for hikers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts exploring remote areas around Durango.

Additionally, the system supports multiple communication methods:

    • Text messages
    • Voice calls
    • Email notifications

This layered approach ensures you receive alerts even when one method fails.

A Critical Upgrade from CodeRED

The transition to LPC Alerts represents a significant improvement in how emergency information is delivered. The new system offers better targeting, faster delivery, and more user control.

If you were previously registered with CodeRED, you must sign up again to continue receiving notifications.
