A test of the county’s emergency notification system, Placer Alert (formally known as Alert Roseville), will be conducted throughout Placer County on Tuesday, January 15, at 10:00 a.m.
Those who are residents in either Placer, Yolo or Sacramento counties who have signed up for the alerts will receive a text, call or email depending on the preferences selected during your account sign up.
There is no need to be alarmed, this is only a test to ensure our notification system is operating properly and to make sure the public is aware of the vital role Placer Alert plays in notifying the community during a real emergency.
