The Lake County Sheriff’s office wants residents to know about a new tool available to help keep the public prepared and informed in case of wildfire. Zonehaven allows residents to look up their zone number ahead of an emergency, and during an emergency, up-to-date information can be viewed at community.zonehaven.com, such as which zones are under evacuation and which are receiving warnings. There is also an option to “subscribe to alerts” when viewing zone information. This will take you to the sign-up page for LakeCoAlerts. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will use zone numbers in the Nixle messages to help identify locations when sending evacuation orders, shelter-in-place warnings, and other emergency information via LakeCoAlerts. So if power is out and internet service is limited, you will still get updates/important emergency information. More information can be found on the Lake County Office of Emergency Services and Lake County Sheriff’s Department Facebook pages.
