The Department of Emergency Management is responsible for the mitigation, preparedness, planning, coordination of response, and recovery activities related to county emergencies and disasters.
The department serves as the primary coordination point for emergency management's activities affecting more than one jurisdiction, and the unincorporated areas of the county. The Department of Emergency Management became an independent county department in July 2019.
The Sonoma County Department of Emergency Management is informing the community of a cybersecurity incident affecting the CodeRED alert and warning platform, operated by our third-party vendor. CodeRED is the system behind the County’s SoCoAlert system. This is a nationwide vendor side incident and is not a breach of any County systems or networks. There is no active emergency in Sonoma County.
