Local brief
Malheur County emergency alerts through OR-Alert
Sign up for Malheur County emergency alerts at oralert.gov. An empty Notice Nearby card is not an all-clear.
Malheur County’s Notice Nearby alert slot was empty on October 3, 2026. Vale is the seat. Ontario, Nyssa, and the rest of the county can have different road problems on the same day.
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.
A tax-seizure notice is not an emergency alert. A court agenda is not an emergency alert. Keep those on their own shelves.
