Lane County Emergency Management will conduct a test of the subscriber-based local emergency alert system – Lane Alerts – on Thursday, May 14, at 12:00 p.m. This test will include emails, recorded voice calls, and text messages, depending on each subscriber’s provided contact information.
Residents are encouraged to visit www.LaneAlerts.org to create a free Lane Alerts account and choose their preferred methods of receiving emergency alerts.
Lane Alerts – backed by Everbridge – allows subscribers to opt-in for notifications via phone call, text message, and email, based on the locations they care about. At minimum, subscribers must provide their name and one method of contact. Multiple addresses can be added to receive notifications about emergency events that may affect their home, workplace, child’s school, and more. Types of emergencies covered include evacuations, severe weather, flooding, police activity, and other critical events.
Residents who already have a Lane Alerts account, but who haven’t logged in recently, will need to update their account to Everbridge Community the next time they log in. Visit https://bit.ly/4whVBMm for details.
