Lucas County Alerts is an emergency alert notification system provided by Lucas County. The system is free to sign up (normal message rates may apply, check with your phone service provider), and anyone who lives or works in Lucas County is encouraged to sign up.
Alerts can be programmed to go out by geographic area, so we ask everyone to share his or her home address. If you only work in Lucas County, feel free to put in your work address instead.

How is Lucas County Alerts different from the City of Toledo Alerts, Monclova Alerts, etc?
Lucas County Alerts sends out emergency alerts - snow emergency levels, tornado warnings, evacuation or shelter in place orders, etc.
Some communities within Lucas County have chosen to create their own alerts for community events, road closures, leaf or trash pick up, etc. Go to lucascountyalerts.com to see if your community has this option.
