Now that we have had our first fires of the season...
If you weren’t home and a fire was heading for your neighborhood, how would you know? When would you know?
If you are signed into Citizen Alerts through Josephine County’s Emergency Services, you’d know in a buzz and a flash if something were threatening your home, business, an elderly relative’s home or the school your children attend. You can sign up here:

Emergency Services divides Josephine County zones for evacuation information, so if you hear “zone GRA-58 is at level 1” and you live in that zone it means get ready for a possible evacuation. You can find out what zone you are in on the website by putting your address into the Know Your Zone map.
Signing up just takes a few minutes, doesn’t cost anything, and could be a lifesaver. You can also call Emergency Services at 541-474-5300 to find out how to sign up.
