St. Mary’s Rolls Out New Emergency Alert System
St. Mary’s County Department of Emergency Services has a new emergency notification system for urgent alerts to the public.
As previously announced, following the retirement of the legacy CodeRED platform, the county has transitioned to Regroup as its new emergency notification provider.
Regroup will be used by Emergency Services to send urgent, time-sensitive alerts related to emergencies and critical incidents. Notifications may be issued for shelter-in-place orders, heavy police presence in an area, sanitary sewer overflows, evacuation notices, and other emergency situations.
Regroup is also integrated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, allowing tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, and flash flood warnings to be sent directly through the platform. Regroup is not used for general information, advertisements, or routine announcements.
The system is strictly reserved for emergencies.
Residents previously enrolled in the CodeRED Emergency Notification System have been migrated to the new Regroup platform. Migrated users will receive instructions—via the same method through which they previously received CodeRED notifications (text, phone, or email)—on how to claim their account, verify or update their information, and manage notification preferences.
Residents who are not currently enrolled are encouraged to sign up by visiting www.stmaryscountymd.gov/alert.
Subscribers can customize how they receive notifications through Regroup based on their personal preferences, including text message, phone call, email, or app notification delivery options.
