Residents Urged To Use Emergency Notification Program
Roosevelt County citizens are reminded that the county has implemented CodeRED, a high-speed emergency mass notification provided by Ormond Beach, Fla., based OnSolve, LLC.
The CodeRed system serves as the backbone of the Roosevelt County emergency planning and communications outreach to both citizens and staff. The system sends telephone calls, text messages, emails and posts to social media channels to inform residents to better protect life and property.
CodeRed was selected for its reliability and accuracy, as well as the system’s wide spread adoption rates across the United States.
“CodeRED’s robust notification system will provide Roosevelt County officials with a reliable, easy-to-use interface to quickly deliver critical information to our citizens during emergencies. We are eager to use this innovative technology to enhance our emergency preparedness plans,” said DES coordinator Lindsey McNabb. “We use the system to notify residents of fires, floods, drinking water emergencies and missing children notices and road closures.”
All residents living within Roosevelt County are encouraged to visit http://rooseveltcounty. org/about-us/newsand- events/ and click on the CodeRed logo to enroll their contact information including cell phone numbers, text and email addresses. No one should automatically assume they are in the emergency contact database.
You can register for CodeRed alerts by going to https://public.coderedweb. com/CNE/en-US/ BF3A37027A24. You can register on your Smartphone by texting “ALERTROOSEVELT” to 99411.
Public safety officials across the United States have credited CodeRed notifications for successfully locating missing children, apprehending wanted criminals and issuing timely evacuations.
