**UPDATE** Orange County authorities sent an email saying that Olivia Simone Strong has been found safe.

Orange County authorities are asking for public assistance after issuing a silver alert for 26-year old Olivia Simone Strong.

Silver alerts apply when the missing individual is believed to be suffering from dementia or some other cognitive impairment.

Strong is five-foot-two and weighs 160 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes. She has been missing from her residence on Mandy Lane since late Friday afternoon. Mandy Lane is just outside and slightly northwest of Hillsborough town limits.

There is no clothing description or known direction of travel. Strong does not drive, so therefore she either left home on foot or accepted a ride from someone.

Authorities are asking that residents call 911 immediately if they see Olivia Strong.
