CodeRED Emergency Notification System
Franklin County has recently upgraded its emergency notification system. Franklin County is now using the CodeRED Emergency Notification System and it is an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications and the distribution of information considered to be important. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in the county in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action, such as an evacuation, contaminated water, hazardous chemical spill, etc. This system is capable of dialing the entire county within minutes. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area, possibly including instructions requiring immediate action on the part of the recipient.

Preliminary Franklin County Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued preliminary copies of updated flood insurance rate maps for Franklin County and all incorporated cities. A flood insurance rate map (FIRM) illustrates the probable extent of flood hazards in a community by depicting flood risk zones and the Special Flood Hazard Area (commonly referred to the 1% annual chance flood or 100-year flood). The FIRMs in Franklin County have been revised using the latest technologies and the most current elevation data so property owners may understand the local flood risk.
