Community Emergency Notification System
June 16, 2011 The City of Cottage Grove and the Cottage Grove Police Department in cooperation with Lane Council of Governments and Public Safety Agencies throughout Lane County, joined the Community Emergency Notification System. "CENS" went live on Friday June 17, 2011.
Members of the Community are invited to register their cellular or VOIP (Voice over IP) phones with CENS through Lane Council of Governments at the following website:
Public Safety Agencies in Lane County are expanding the capabilities of their Community Emergency Notification System (CENS) so that public officials can reach more members of the community with timely alert and warning information. With CENS and the "Alert Me" registration, critical information can be relayed to you about emergency situations that require your immediate attention.
Until recently, emergency personnel would use CENS to call land-line telephones but did not have the capability to include Wireless (cellular) or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone numbers.
Recent upgrades to the system now allow owners of VoIP or cellular phone lines to receive the same emergency message that those with land-line phones receive, but ONLY IF THEY REGISTER.
CENS allows Public Safety Agencies in Lane County to identify an affected area and, if necessary, send a message that describes the situation and recommend protective actions residents should take.
The CENS system will automatically call out to all land-line and Alert Me registered telephone numbers within that geographic area and deliver the recorded message once a voice is heard. If your phone line is busy, the system will attempt to redial the number three times to make contact. If an answering machine picks up the call, the emergency message will be left on the machine.
