The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) will be conducting a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) Test in the Prescott Valley area on Thursday, August 29th, 2024, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. This test is part of a multi-jurisdictional exercise aimed at testing the Genasys Protect Evacuation platform for emergency notifications through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning Systems (IPAWS).
YCOEM recently gained the approval to send messages through IPAWS, allowing them to assist jurisdictions in need of emergency notification support.
