National Warning System

The Town of Pine Haven will be switching to the IPAWS System (National Warning System) which is hosted by Crook County Emergency. The National Warning System is the same system that sends out the

• Amber Alert – Missing Person
• Blue Alert – Active Law Enforcement message.

 

This system works off the nearest cell phone tower. Crook County Emergency creates a polygon map of the effected area . A message will be sent to all cell phones within that area or traveling through the area. In case of  Town Emergency Crook Co. Emergency Management will send out a Code Yellow via text to all cell phones with in area of concern.

 

• IPAWS requires no sign up.

We will no longer be sending a text or email message from the Town. If there is something that the Town needs to contact the public about, we will put the message on the Town of Pine Haven Facebook page

The Town will still be using the sirens for Emergencies

Town of Pine Haven will still test its sirens the first Monday of the month at noon.

Listen for the Sirens & take cover

• If a Tornado is within the area of the town a Wailing Tone (6 sec. Hi/6Low) lasting 3 minutes, means to take cover.
• In case of a Fire stay out of the area and let the Fire Fighters work. STOP AND LISTEN for Fire Evacuation. Notice will be sounded and instructions will be given over the loud speaker. Remain calm. Follow the instructions of the emergency officials.
