Most of us were asleep at 3:17am on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 when the recent Tsunami alert was issued. This is a reminder that emergencies can happen at any time.  The City of Lincoln City wants to remind everyone to sign up for emergency notifications. Lincoln Alerts is the emergency notification system used by Lincoln City and Lincoln County. You can sign up for notifications at co.lincoln.or.us/alerts.  It is also an opportunity to discuss with your family in the event of an emergency what your plan of action is.  There are many educational resources available about emergency preparedness on the City’s website at http://lincolncityor.govoffice3.com/emergencypreparedness as well as on Lincoln County’s website http://co.lincoln.or.us/emergencymanagement/page/plan-and-prepare.  For additional information on tsunamis visit http://www.oregongeology.org/tsuclearinghouse/default.htm and http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/Tsunami/index.html. Please take the time to be aware and prepare.
