Columbia County will test its new CodeRED Emergency Notification System, Fri., Feb. 1. All registered numbers will be called beginning at 10 a.m., according to a statement released by the Columbia County Emergency Management Office. The test will allow county personnel the chance to operate the system as if it was a real emergency. Patrick Grattan, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, urged everyone to go to columbiacountyny [dot] com and follow the CodeRED link at the top of the page to register. "If your contact information is not in the database you will not receive a call when an urgent message is sent," Grattan said. In particular, businesses should register, as well as individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their number recently and those who use a cell phone exclusively or have Internet phones as their primary numbers. Questions about the system should be directed to the Emergency Management Office at (518) 828-1212.
