Jackson County to Test Alert Notification System for Great ShakeOut
Join millions of individuals throughout Oregon and across the globe today at 10:16 a.m. as they practice Drop, Cover and Hold On for the Great ShakeOut.
Known as the world’s largest earthquake drill, this annual event provides an opportunity for people in homes, schools, and businesses to assess their disaster preparedness, improve their emergency safety plans, and practice what to do in the event of a real earthquake.
In conjunction with the Great ShakeOut, Jackson County will be conducting a test of the new Jackson Alerts notification system. This service provides critical information quickly for a variety of emergency situations.
Those registered with Jackson Alerts will receive a test alert through all listed delivery methods -- call, text, and email -- between 10 am and 2 pm. It is vital to be prepared. Register, update your Jackson Alerts account, and learn more at JacksonAlerts.gov
