Lane County Emergency Management will test its local emergency alert system – Lane Alerts – Wednesday at 1:15 p.m.
People who subscribe to Lane Alerts may receive emails, recorded voice calls and text messages as part of the test.
The test is done twice a year. Lane County Emergency Manager Tiffany Brown says it's a good opportunity to review wildfire preparedness information as summer approaches.
The types of emergencies that people may receive alerts about include evacuations, severe weather, flooding, police activity, and more.
