Wasco County emergency alerts through OR-Alert

Wasco County’s Notice Nearby page does not yet show a county email alert. An empty box means this register has nothing to post. It does not mean the county is quiet, and it is not an all-clear.

Oregon’s finder is oralert.gov. Search Wasco County. The state says each county has its own sign-up, and that Everbridge is the system used by all 36 Oregon counties. Alerts are free. Your phone plan may still charge for texts. You can text your ZIP code to 888777 for a basic alert. You can put more than one address on a profile if you work in one town and live in another.

TripCheck, at tripcheck.com, is the highway and weather map from the Oregon Department of Transportation. Use it for closures and chain rules. Use OR-Alert for the warning message from public safety. A board agenda is a third thing. Do not file a road-camera image on the meetings calendar.

Wasco County’s site answered at wascocountyor.gov on October 3, 2026. The how-do-I menu includes building permits, land use and planning, property-tax appeals, and road improvement. The Dalles is the usual meeting city. A property-tax appeal is a different deadline from a tax-foreclosure publication. Do not treat the appeal form as a surplus-funds claim.

In a real emergency, follow the county sheriff or emergency manager and the alert you signed up for. Do not wait for a card on noticenearby.com.
