The Wood County Emergency Alert System uses the Everbridge emergency notification system to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather, fires, floods, and other emergencies, to more routine announcements, such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages are sent to residents on their preferred contact paths — cell phone, SMS text messaging, home phone, email, fax, pager, and more — to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. (This is the same system that Parkersburg/Wood County Neighborhood Watch uses to notify our members of important information.)
