Lane County ALERT ME!

Posted on May 7, 2017 by Gary Haliski

Community Emergency Notification System Enrollment

Lane County is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice call (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that this information is collected as many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines. This service, powered by AlertSense, allows fire, police and other emergency response agencies to issue emergency alerts to warn citizens of events such as severe weather, fire, flooding, hazardous materials, need for immediate evacuation, civil danger, local area emergencies, and missing persons.

Sign up today and identify the types of alerts and notifications that you would like to receive, as well as your contact information and contact preferences. You provide your physical address and zip code to receive advanced warning of severe weather or emergencies that directly impact the area in which you live or work. In the event of a life threatening emergency, alerts will be delivered to you through priority channels including phone calls and/or priority text messages. Non-emergency notifications are received through text and email.

Sign Up Here.

Wildflower Celebration – Awbrey Park, Saturday May 6

Posted on April 29, 2017 by Gary Haliski

The Friends of Awbrey Park invite you to the 6th annual Wildflower Celebration on Saturday, May 6th from 11 am to 2 pm.  Awbrey Park is at the corner of River Road and Spring Creek Drive about 2 miles north of Fred Meyers.

The Wildflower Celebration is a perfect time to see native plants in bloom.  You will even have a chance to take home a native plant for your garden.  Native plants take less water and fertilizer than non natives and are more likely to survive our climate.

So come join the Friends of Awbrey park.  Play some horse shoes, roast some s’mores and go on a treasure hunt.

Family friendly, you’re kids will love it!
