The Inyo County Sheriff's Office has issued the following regarding a Wireless Emergency Alert scheduled for noon today from the state INYO COUNTY, CA. December 8, 2020 The state of California, Office of Emergency Services, pursuant to the Governor’s Order will be issuing a WEA (Wireless Emergency Alert) text today at noon. This alert will go out to all Counties who are under a Stay at Home order. State sheriffs were advised yesterday at 4:30 pm of the alert. Even th...ough emergency managers and law enforcement were not involved in the discussions regarding the alert, we were informed we had no control. Across this state, emergency managers and law enforcement are dealing with potential public safety power shutoffs, red flag warnings and the potential for wildland fires. We urged the governor not to conduct the alert as the message could be conflicting with emergency evacuation orders. WEA is supposed to be used for emergencies. The primary concern is the potential for conflicting alerts if an actual emergency occurs. If you receive the WEA, please do not call 9-1-1 or county offices for clarifications. You can call the California Office of Emergency Services at (916) 845- 8510. The Inyo County Sheriff’s Office will continue to advise citizens and visitors via Code Red, IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert Warning Service), or WEA in the event of an emergency. The message will clearly state it’s from the Sheriff’s Office.
