Josephine County Emergency Management Needs Volunteers 3437

Fire season is here and we need your help!

Have you ever wondered what we do in the Emergency Operations Center during a fire, winter storm or other evacuation event? Have you ever thought about getting involved and helping your community? We are here to make your dreams come true (just those dreams)!

Emergency Management is looking for volunteers who are good with people, have customer service experience and feel confident on a computer -- these people are like mythical beings, community service ninja warriors! These warriors will be trainded to take calls, check the status of/make updates to Citizen Alert accounts, provide information about the current event and inform people about their evacuation level and where to go for help during the disaster. Our ninjas may also help with parking at events (such as vaccination clinics), staffing at temporary evacuation points or helping with our emergency preparedness training.

In return for you service, you will get a good fuzzy feeling, more high fives than those who don't help, free food (most of the time), free coffee and sometimes you'll even get to wear a super cool vest that you can use as a cape! What more could you want?

If you are interested in being awesome, please download and fill out the volunteer application below today! Mail or deliver your application to:

๐Ÿ“ฒ Jackson Alerts Info Posting some information here based on the most commonly asked questions so far! โ“Why canโ€™t I use my email address or old username & password for Jackson Alerts? โžก๏ธ The new username and password for Jackson Alerts cannot be the same as what you used for Citizen Alert. If the system doesnโ€™t like your email address, you may have used it for your Citizen Alert account and will need to choose a new one. โ“My mom is elderly, does not have an email and signed up for Citizen Alert over the phone. Does she need to set up on online account? โžก๏ธ No, since she does not have an email, she does not need to create an online account. Her name and contact information that was in Citizen Alert was moved into the Jackson Alerts system. Give call us at 541-774-6790 & we are more than happy to make sure momโ€™s contact information is still up to date. Here is a link to our frequently asked questions page for more information: https://jacksoncountyor.gov/departments/emergency_management/faq.php

As of this week, Jackson County will transition to its own Everbridge account and will be rebranding its notification system as Jackson Alerts. This transition will allow for enhanced security and control of alerting options, features, and alert senders within the system. Josephine County Emergency Management will continue to use Citizen Alert, and residents of Josephine County will not be impacted. ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐&๐€'๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐….๐€.๐. ๐ฉ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: โ“๐ˆ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐‰๐š๐œ๐ค๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ฒ & ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐‚๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ž๐ง ๐€๐ฅ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐š๐œ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง? โœ”๏ธ Good news!
