BOS committee approves CodeRed system

Aug 22, 2012 7:08 am
Nathan Mayberg reports in the Register Star the Columbia County Board of Supervisors Public Safety Committee approved the adoption of the CodeRed emergency notification system, Tues., Aug. 21. The decision came as a response to the Aug. 1 fire at TCI of New York in West Ghent. The new notification technology will cost nearly $22,000 a year as part of a three-year contract with the Florida-based Emergency Communications Network. The full board will be asked to approve the agreement at a special meeting, Mon., Aug. 20. CodeRed would provide the county an interactive community notification reverse 911 system, with the ability to reach residents with or without landlines. Landline users will receive emergency notifications automatically, while cell phone users may have to enroll for services. Notifications can also be received via text, email or social media.
