NEW PUBLIC ALERT SYSTEM TO GO LIVE THIS WEEK IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Lincoln County Emergency Management announced on Monday that public enrollment is now open for Lincoln County Alerts, a new public alert and warning system designed to provide residents and visitors with timely emergency information from local public safety officials.
Lincoln County Director of Emergency Management Tyler Verhasselt shared, “When seconds matter, people need information from trusted local public safety officials. Lincoln County alerts gives residents and visitors a direct way to receive emergency information from the people responsible for protecting this community. In a large rural county, redundancy matters. This system helps us reach people faster, more clearly, and through more than one channel.”
The new alert system goes live on June 19th and is powered by CodeRED by Crisis 24. Residents are encouraged to enroll now so they’ll be able to receive emergency alerts when the system goes into operation.
