The Contra Costa County Community Warning System (CWS) has changed the Caller ID used to issue alerts.

It could save your life.
Old Caller ID: 000-000-0000
NEW CALLER ID: 925-655-0195
To make sure you pick up CWS alerts:
1. Add this number as a new contact
in your mobile device
and label it “Community Warning System”
2. Assign or add this new contact to your FAVORITES or EMERGENCY BYPASS.
Taking these steps should stop calls from being identified as Spam or
silenced by the Do Not Disturb feature
on your phone.

We have been asked why the CWS system changed its phone number at a time when the CWS is so critical. The number was changed because there was a change in FCC rules, which would have caused calls from the system to be rejected
and/or undeliverable if reported as coming from 0000000000.
Old Caller ID: 000-000-0000
NEW CALLER ID: 925-655-0195
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact CWS.
Stay well,
Jim Bonato
