Code RED EMERGENCY CALLING SYSTEM

Coshocton County has an Emergency Telephone Calling System named “ CODE RED”. This calling system has the capability to call every phone in the county within a short period of time, or targeted areas as needed in the event of an emergency. The calling system is used for Emergency Communication to county residents and can be triggered by personnel from several emergency response agencies within the county. The phone numbers called are the ones recorded in a database of Coshocton County telephones.

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:

www.coshoctoncounty.net

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.

You may also access the CODE RED icon from these additional sites:
