Hey Islanders, tomorrow October 4th at about 11:20 AM is the nationwide test of Cellular and Emergency Alert System alerts! When activated these systems can alert you of emergencies such as a Wildland fire, hazmat release, or other emergency condition which could affect you. Please let us know if you get the alert by completing this short form:
https://forms.office.com/g/Aa7JsLH9Aa
Being able to receive these alerts is an integral part of your family’s preparedness plan. If you haven’t already, you can sign up to receive Island Alerts at:

And, as we enter the fall, don’t forget to look at our other pages for disaster preparedness information. If you have questions or need help with your preparedness we are happy to help, give us a call at 360-370-7612!

Many times I hear about something important here first. Like the nationwide test of the cellphones. I never heard that before. Thank you.
