Douglas County 911 Emergency Services has established a self-registration portal (SRP) for the Reverse 911 emergency notification system.

This will provide the department a proactive means for gathering contact information from the community-at-large, ultimately improving communications during all types of emergencies.

The SRP is a simple-to-access web tool that allows residents of Douglas and Alpine counties to sign up to receive alerts issued by Douglas County 911 Emergency Services. Click here. Click the “911” link on the left column of the page, then the “On the Alert” link that connects you to the SRP; read the terms and conditions and follow the instructions for registration.

The latitude and longitude of the individual’s address are calculated, with the location quickly appearing on a digital, street-level display. If the position is incorrect, perhaps due to a typographical error, simply move a pin to correct it. Participants may also update their personal contact information, physical address and other items as often as necessary in order to keep the data current.

This information is seamlessly geo-coded into the address database utilized by the Reverse 911 emergency notification system on a scheduled basis.

Do not register your traditional land line telephone as that number is already in the database.

You may register three cell phones or VOIP phones per address.

The opt-out date can be any future date you no longer want to receive alerts for the address you are registering; this can be changed at any time by logging into your account.

Questions should be directed to 911 Manager Ron Sagen at (775) 782-9977 or Operations Supervisor Maggie Jensen at (775) 782-9978.
