Welcome
Wayne county is nestled in the rolling hills of Southern Iowa and is a good place to live and raise a family or just to visit. Wayne County offers many amenities for those wishing to relocate here. Wayne County is a rural area with clean air and water but is located only 1 1/2 - 2 hours from Des Moines, Kansas City, or Ottumwa. Wayne County’s low crime rate and low cost of living, including property and housing costs, make this a good place to live and work. Enjoy country living with city conveniences not far away.

Seconds Count In An Emergency!
The County of Wayne has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the City in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices).
The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.

Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:
- Drinking water contamination
- Utility outage
- Evacuation notice & route
- Missing person
- Fires or Floods
- Bomb threat
- Hostage situation
- Chemical spill or Gas leak
and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.
