This is a test of the emergency communications system for Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. Below are the email message and voice call message distributed via our Lincoln Alerts system for the test today.
Had this been a real emergency, Lincoln County Emergency Management would use FlashAlert to communicate public messages to our media cooperators.
Lincoln Alerts Annual Test Media Release
Email Message:
The message you are receiving today is part of the countywide test of the Lincoln County emergency notification system, Lincoln Alerts.
We are distributing the annual test messages in the following order to ensure all features of our system are working correctly. You should receive separate messages on your different registered devices and may receive more than one message if you have multiple addresses in your Lincoln Alerts profile.
- Social Media, Media Release (Flash Alert), and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) - public radio message.
- Keywords – for community information updates; this is a separate from your Lincoln Alerts profile.
- Email/Text/Lincoln Alerts Mobile App to Lincoln Alert Profiles/Web registration.
- If you did not receive this message via text to one of your mobile devices then check your Lincoln Alerts Profile to ensure you have the “SMS TEXT #” option with your mobile number included – if this field is not selected you will not receive a text message.
- Cellular/landline voice calls (calls will start after 9:00 am to 1pm based on your addresses in your Lincoln Alerts profile).
- If you confirm the voice call test message on one of your devices, it will not go to the other devices that receive voice calls in your profile. However, if you have more than one address in your profile, you may receive a separate voice call for each address in your profile.
- If your phone number is also contained in another family member’s profile and they confirm the message it may not go to your phone number. We recommend that you do not duplicate phone numbers in other family member profiles – it could prevent you from receiving the notice if they confirm their message.
Lincoln Alerts Profile Wellness Check:
If you did not receive a notice to one of your devices by 1pm, we encourage you to log into your Lincoln Alerts profile to ensure your information is up to date. We have a Lincoln Alerts Wellness Check (Lincoln Alerts Wellness Check - English) (Lincoln Alerts Wellness Check - Spanish) with tips on how to make sure you profile is up to date.

Voice Call Message: Good morning, Lincoln County Community Members,
This call is part of the annual countywide test of the Lincoln County Emergency Notification System, Lincoln Alerts. This is only a test; the only action required is to confirm this message.
We would like to remind our community members to check the information they have in their Lincoln Alerts opt-in profile to ensure their address, phone numbers, email, and/or text information is correct. You can find this information on the Lincoln County website by searching for Lincoln Alerts.
If you received multiple phone calls from Lincoln Alerts today it may be because:
- This phone number is in more than one Lincoln Alerts profile, perhaps other family members have this phone number in their profile.
- Or you may have more than one address in your Lincoln Alerts profile – each address may receive a test message.
