Lincoln County Emergency Public Information Call Center

The Lincoln County Emergency Public Information Call Center was implemented in 2018 to provide critical information resources to community members impacted by a disaster or large community emergency response. The Call Center, when activated, is staffed by local public safety volunteers under the direction of the County Emergency Operations Center and the lead County Public Information Officer.

We have a short video that explains the benefit of our call center and how it can assist you during a disaster. View the Lincoln County Emergency Call Center video on YouTube.
