Alerts and local information
The alerts board, road cameras, events, public lookups, and the other ways LaneHelp shows what is happening around the county.
What this does
Beyond services, LaneHelp gathers public local information: weather and emergency notices, road cameras, community events, and public record lookups.
When to use it
Use these pages when conditions might change your plans — weather, smoke, closures — or you need a public lookup like jail custody information.
What you need
Nothing. These are all public pages.

The alerts board
The alerts page collects active public notices — severe weather, wildfire and smoke, utility outages, traffic problems, and community safety notices. Each alert shows its source, the area it covers, and when it was posted. Newest and most serious appear first. During severe weather, this is also where warming and cooling center notices appear.
Other local information pages
About the AIC lookup
AIC (Adult In Custody) shows public jail roster information — whether a name appears, with charge and custody details as published by the county. It is a public pointer, not a legal record: names change, timing lags, and nothing on it should be used to infer guilt or release timing. For anything consequential, use the official jail or court source it links to.
Common questions
How fresh are the alerts?
Alerts show their posted and updated times. The board pulls from public sources continuously, but always check the timestamp before acting on an older notice.
Why is a road camera image old or missing?
Cameras belong to ODOT and other agencies; when a source hiccups, the snapshot lags or drops. Compare with the alerts board before trusting a stale image.
Can I look up someone in custody?
Yes — the AIC page searches public custody information. Spelling matters, information lags, and the official source linked on the page is the authority.
