Chester County Contracts with CodeRED to Provide Emergency Notification Services to Community
CHESTER, SC, APRIL 29, 2021 – Following the extensive and thorough evaluation and review of mass emergency alerting systems, the County of Chester has implemented the CodeRED system, a high-speed emergency notification service provided by OnSolve, based in Ormond Beach, Florida. Public safety officials across the United States have credited CodeRED notifications for saving lives, including locating missing children, apprehending wanted criminals, and issuing timely evacuations.
The CodeRED system will serve as the backbone of the county’s emergency planning and communications outreach. The platform will allow the county to communicate with residents and personnel by sending telephone calls, text messages, emails, posts to social media and mobile app messages to inform residents of emergencies and better protect life and property. CodeRED was selected for its reliability and accuracy, as well as the system’s widespread usage across North America.
“CodeRED’s robust system will provide county officials with a reliable, easy-to use technology to enhance our emergency preparedness plans,” said E911 Director Doug McMurray. “We anticipate using the system to notify residents of emergency situations including missing people, manhunts, hostage situations, and any other threats to our communities.
The county has also purchased the CodeRED Weather Warning system, an automated weather warning technology that delivers phone calls, text messages, and emails to registered residents and businesses within the direct path of severe weather. The CodeRED Weather Warning system is an opt-in service that automatically notifies those enrolled of tornado, flash flood, and severe thunderstorm warnings just moments after an alert is issued by the National Weather Service (NWS).
All residents living within the Chester County limits are encouraged to visit www.chesterscsheriff.com/e911-information and click on the CodeRED logo to enroll using their cell phone numbers, text and email addresses.
