Local brief
Morrow County emergency alerts through OR-Alert
Sign up for Morrow County emergency alerts at oralert.gov. The October 7 budget hearing is not an emergency pin.
Morrow County’s Notice Nearby alert slot was empty on October 3, 2026. The county runs from the Columbia River to the Blue Mountains. A single empty card does not describe that distance.
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 supplemental budget hearing is not an emergency alert. Do not stamp the October 7 meeting with a warning banner.
