@PlacerCA Hi Chris, we only use the Placer Alert system when immediate notification is vital for emergency situations. We use it sparingly so that residents will take immediate note when they do see a Placer Alert text come through. #
In Folsom today refreshing my emergency communications skills at a CAL OES academy. Some good take always so far. I’m hoping I won’t have to use these skills anytime soon.
