SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! |
|
Douglas County and the City of Tuscola have instituted the
CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed
telephone communication service for emergency notifications.
This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of
the City in case of an emergency situation that requires
immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child
or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing
50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then
delivers our recorded message to a live person or an
answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any
number.

THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.
Examples of times when the
CodeRED system could be utilized:
Drinking water contamination, Utility outage, Evacuation
notice & route, Missing person, Fires or Floods, Bomb
threat, Hostage situation, Chemical spill or Gas leak, and
other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate
notification is essential for life safety.
