Please note: Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) messages provide limited information and may be confusing. The federal system that sends these alerts only allows 90 characters on older phones and up to 360 characters on newer models. While we do our best to clearly describe the affected areas, this can be challenging—especially in rural regions. We will always include a URL with additional details and a map to help residents better understand which areas are impacted.
