Franklin County CodeRED
SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY
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.
While a calling data base was created by extracting information from Franklin County’s computerized files and other public record sources, it is certain that not all phone numbers of residents and residential and business property owners within county boundaries were captured.
