Brian Hubert in The Daily Mail reports Dan King of the Greene County Emergency Management Services told folks at the Sept. 16 Greenville town board meeting about the Code Red Emergency Alert System. Anyone who opts into the service gets phone, email, social media outlets, or text message alerts in weather emergencies, and other disasters. “It used to be everyone listened to the radio,” King told the board. “Today it’s much more fragmented, with some people seeking out information online, others using cell phones, and others using landline phones.” Officials can tailor messages to individual towns, neighborhoods, or single houses. King said anyone with a traditional landline is already signed up, and others need to sign up at the Greene County website at http://greenegovernment.com/ scroll to the bottom and click the Code Red banner at the bottom, or call Greene County Emergency Management Services at 518-622-3643.
