CodeRED Mobile Alert App taps into the national CodeRED Emergency Notification
System and alerts subscribers located within the reach of a given notification
area generated by public safety officials. The App tracks your position, so no
matter where you are when an alert is issued, you will receive notifications
that affect you right on your mobile device.
A NEW CAPABILITY HAS BEEN ADDED TO OUR CALLING SYSTEM
Each resident of Coshocton County can now add additional phone number(s) to the data base to be sure they are contacted if a call is placed to notify them of an emergency situation. Your street/road address is very important so a call will only be placed to you if your address is affected by the emergency condition.
By using this capability, you can add not just your home number but a cell phone number if you would like to receive the call on it.
To add a name and phone number(s), go to the Coshocton County Web Site:
Then click on the red and black
CODE RED icon at the top of the page and follow the directions to add the number(s) you would like to add to the data base.
