SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY!
Wichita County has 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.
