As brushfire season nears, Seminole County officials stress the importance of signing up for fire alerts to stay safe and informed.

Did you know only about 10% of people in Seminole County are signed up for the fire alert system? That’s pretty low! This means most folks wouldn’t get important messages during an emergency.
The emergency management office is on top of things, monitoring the county closely. But if you’re not registered, you might miss out on crucial alerts. Officials pointed out that communication is key during emergencies, just like in California.
To tackle this, they’re urging everyone to sign up for alerts. They won’t send out a blanket notification for a wildfire affecting just a few neighborhoods. Instead, they’ll target those specific areas. So, if you register, they can reach you directly.
It’s a simple step that could make a big difference in keeping you and your loved ones safe. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
