A county-wide test of our Placer Alert emergency notification system will take place on Thursday December 12th at 12 p.m. (12/12 at 12 p.m.)

Placer Alert is the county’s mass notification system. It’s a critical communication tool to warn you of immediate danger, such as wildfire evacuations or shelter in place notifications. This is an “opt-in,” address-based system that allows for more precise geographical targeted alerts. Residents can sign up for multiple addresses/devices to cover every location they wish to receive alerts.

Alerts will be received on the medium(s) that the resident has opted into – recorded messages for phone calls (both cell and landline) and text-based messages for text and email alerts.

The alert will come from these numbers, we suggest saving them as “Placer Alert”:

Call: 530-537-0829
