Emergency alerts

Sign up for emergency alerts so you can be notified quickly and efficiently during emergencies such as wildfires, severe weather, public safety incidents, or other urgent events.

We encourage all community members—everyone who works, recreates, goes to school, and/or lives here—to sign up to receive emergency alerts. Signing up allows you to choose how you receive alerts (text, call, email), provide multiple contact methods, customize location-based alerts, and ensure your information is accurate.

Sign Up for Emergency Alerts

Signing up is quick and easy. Select the "Sign Up for Emergency Alerts" button or text “LOSALAMOS” to 888777.

You may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in alert messages or by adjusting their preferences within the system.

Note: Emergency alerts from Los Alamos County’s system will come from the number 88911. This is different from the number used by LANL’s system. Residents are encouraged to read messages in their entirety, as they will contain critical instructions and situation updates.

Weather station announcements

The weather stations at Ashley Pond Park, the golf course, North Mesa Sports Complex, Overlook Park, and Piñon Splash Pad announce alerts and also serve as an emergency tool, broadcasting critical announcements during severe weather or emergencies.

Ready, Set, Go!

Current status: READY

Plan. Prepare. Stay aware.

The geography, weather patterns, and number of Wildland Urban Interface communities in New Mexico make it a state particularly threatened by devastating wildfire. As catastrophic wildfires continue to increase each year in New Mexico, make sure to protect yourself and your family—plan, prepare, and stay aware.

Ready, Set, Go!

Get prepared for wildfire before it strikes by remembering the 8 P's:

• People & pets
• Pictures & photo albums
• PCs
• Papers (important documents)
• Prescriptions & medications (including pets)
• Plastics (i.e. credit cards)
• Personal devices (phones, tablets, & chargers)
• Passports & IDs

Fire restrictions

Effective July 28, 2026: ORDER_2026-03_Rescinded-Restrictions_20260727.pdf(PDF, 98KB)

Fire Marshal Colorado Cordova with the Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) has announced all fire restrictions in Los Alamos County are lifted, effective June 28, 2026. The decision comes after careful evaluation of recent rainfall, fuel moisture levels, fire activity, and current and forecasted weather conditions. 

With the lifting of restrictions, residents and visitors are now welcome to enjoy outdoor activities at County parks and developed campsites. Campfires and charcoal grills are once again permitted. However, Fire Marshal Cordova strongly encourages everyone to practice caution and common sense to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires. 

Additionally, while fire restrictions have been lifted in Los Alamos County, individuals visiting areas outside of the county still need to comply with fire restrictions set by local, state and federal authorities, including Pueblos and other counties. These measures are crucial to preventing fire incidents and safeguarding the community and its natural resources.
