Bourbon County is now utilizing the Genasys ALERT notification system to provide residents with emergency notifications and important public safety information.
Bourbon County will transition away from the current CodeRED alert system effective May 31, 2026. Residents currently receiving CodeRED notifications will need to register for Genasys ALERT, as contact information from the CodeRED system will not transfer to the new platform.
The system will be used to notify residents about incidents that may affect safety, including severe weather, floods, wildfires, gas leaks, power outages, evacuation or shelter-in-place orders, active threats, and other emergencies. Bourbon County may also use the system to provide information regarding road closures and traffic impacts related to public events such as parades, festivals, and community celebrations.
Genasys ALERT is a multi-channel communication platform that delivers notifications through phone calls, text messages, and email.
Residents are encouraged to register at:
bourboncountyks.genasys.com/portal
Users can customize how they receive alerts, add multiple phone numbers and email addresses, enter important locations, and choose the types of notifications they wish to receive.
To help ensure alerts are received properly, residents are encouraged to save the following contacts:
- Phone Alerts Caller ID: (620) 224-2056
- Text/SMS Sender ID: 65513
- Email Notifications: Bourbon County KS ([email protected])
Receiving timely and accurate information during an emergency is extremely important. Bourbon County Emergency Management encourages all residents to register and keep their contact information updated so they can receive alerts and important community notifications.
Additional information and frequently asked questions are available on the Genasys ALERT login page.
This is a new system for Bourbon County, and officials ask for the public’s patience as final details are worked through and the transition from CodeRED is completed.
