Emergency Notification System

CODE RED

The Linn County E 9-1-1- Board has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows public safety and emergency agencies to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action. The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It delivers a recorded message to a person or answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number
