EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. – The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) will be testing the Mass Notification emergency alerting system on Wednesday, July 30, at 10 a.m.
This is the time to sign up for emergency alerts if not already done. To sign up, visit ready.edso.org to register, and you will receive the test on July 30th. Signing up also ensures you get timely notifications to your cell phone, landline, and email in the event of an actual emergency.
Emergencies you’ll be notified of include evacuation, shelter in place, or other actions during incidents, including wildfires, hazmat spills, landslides or an active shooter.

The TEST notification will be sent to registered phones and email addresses, and will read:
