CodeRed Changes To Lewis County Alert
Lewis County has been able to secure a new alert system that is much more configurable, and robust than our previous system. This new service will allow us to serve our citizens and emergency responders much more efficiently. Unfortunately we do need you to reactivate your account information and setup your preferences. This process does not take very long and we don’t want you to miss out on any important alerts that you may wish to receive. We invite you to sign up today for the new and improved Lewis County Alert system. Please click on the following link and follow the instructions.

It was beyond emotional to hear all of the names read off by county of just those still missing from Washington State. Among them was 2 year old Sky Metawala. There was a table set up for him across from ours where his father and some other relatives had large pictures of him.
