Alabama Power will conduct an annual test of its lake-area emergency alert system on Thursday, July 13.
Residents immediately downstream of Bouldin, Harris, Jordan, Lay and Mitchell dams may receive a phone call, text or email alert during the test. The system is used to notify area residents in the event of an emergency.
The message used during the test will convey that this is only a test, that there is no emergency and that no action should be taken.
“As a company, we always put Safety First,” said Herbie Johnson, Southern Company Hydro general manager. “Our testing of this alert system and sirens ensures they are always working properly and ready to be used in the unlikely event of an emergency.”
Residents can check or update their contact information for any relevant warnings or notifications at https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/en-US/BFC23F7C23F3.
