Linn County, Oregon, emergency alerts through OR-Alert

Linn County’s Notice Nearby alert slot was empty on October 3, 2026. The county site has an alerts and email-subscription area. That list is county news. OR-Alert is the hazard signup. Use both if you want both. Do not assume they carry the same message.

Oregon’s finder is oralert.gov. It is not one inbox for the whole state. Search the county, or text a ZIP code to 888777 for a basic alert. The state page says Everbridge is the system used by all 36 Oregon counties, alerts are free, and a phone plan may still charge for texts. Text STOP to end texts. An empty Notice Nearby alert card is not an all-clear. TripCheck, at tripcheck.com, is the highway and weather map. Use it for closures. Use OR-Alert for the warning from public safety. Do not wait for a card on noticenearby.com in a real emergency.

Albany is the seat. Interstate and river-road closures belong on TripCheck. A board agenda belongs on the meetings page. Do not pin an active emergency from this brief. None was opened as a current county warning.
