Bonus: How Emergency Alerts Reach You

In this bonus episode of Inside Deschutes County, we take a closer look at how emergency alerts reach you during a wildfire or other emergency.  Deschutes County Emergency Manager Ben Duda and Deschutes County 911’s Chris Perry join us to explain how information moves from first responders in the field to the public, from a deputy knocking on your door to Deschutes Alerts, Wireless Emergency Alerts and social media.  We also discuss lessons from recent wildfires and what you can do now to make sure you receive critical information when it matters most.
