Alerts & Warning Systems

REGISTER TO RECEIVE EVACUATION NOTICES AND FIRE INFORMATION

During wildfires, Lake County residents should be prepared to monitor multiple sources for fire and life safety information. Emergency managers will use several methods to distribute fire information: Nixle, LakeCoAlerts, Social Media, local TV and radio. Don’t forget to use your own senses and stay vigilant of changing conditions.

Nixle

During a wildfire, “Nixle” is used to provide INFORMATION by text message targeting ENTIRE ZIP CODES when new INFORMATION becomes available.

Social Media

Social media outlets such as Facebook can be excellent sources of public information and may be used by local agencies during emergencies. Be sure to follow your local fire department, Lake County Sheriff’s Office (@lakesheriff), Cal Fire’s Sonoma Napa Lake Unit (@CalFireLNU), and your local police department to monitor fire information and receive updates during local wildfires.

Emergency Fire Sirens

Fire Sirens have been installed in Loch Lomond, Cobb, Anderson Springs, Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake.
