We have been notified of a nation-wide outage and data breach affecting CodeRED, the third-party alert system we used to send our Sumner Alert emergency messaging. The City was among hundreds of agencies impacted by this nationwide cybersecurity attack. This breach occurred on CodeRED’s systems—not within the City’s networks, but we want to ensure our users are protected.

According to CodeRED, user information stored in their system may have been accessed, including name, address, email, phone number, and passwords associated with user accounts. If you signed up for CodeRED and used the same password you use with other accounts, please consider changing those passwords immediately as a precaution.

If you have specific questions about your data, please contact CodeRED directly at 866-939-0911 or crsupport@crisis24.com.

Please note: We had already begun the process of transitioning to a new emergency alerting system. We will update you on this process soon. In the meantime, you can always sign on to PC Alert.

Thank you for taking proactive steps to keep your information safe.

Whether you’re traveling near or far, your safety matters to us!

This Thanksgiving week, please:

• Drive sober
• Avoid distractions
• Follow posted speeds
• Check weather and road conditions before traveling

Let’s keep our roads safe for everyone this holiday season.

Reindeers and fireworks and Santa, oh my! Make sure to come down to Sumner this Saturday to kick off the holiday season with us! There will be lots of fun things to check out and small businesses to shop, topped off with the annual Bridge lighting at 5pm. We hope to see your smiling faces there!

Please note the road closures in place from 3:30 pm-7:30 pm.

As we gather for Thanksgiving celebrations this week, please remember: don’t drink and drive. Plan ahead, designate a sober driver, or use a rideshare. Your choices save lives. Let’s make sure everyone gets home safely this holiday season.

Next week City Hall and remote offices will be closed Thursday, November 27th and Friday, November 28th in observance of Thanksgiving.
