Ripley County, IN — In light of National Preparedness Month, Ripley County Emergency Management would like to remind residents that Ripley County CodeRED service is available. CodeRED is a high-speed emergency mass notification service. The system sends telephone calls, text messages, emails, and posts to social media to inform residents to better protect life and property.
For weather emergencies, once the National Weather Service issues a warning it will automatically be sent through the CodeRED system. In addition to weather emergencies, it can be used to notify residents of missing persons, criminal activity, boil water advisory, and other various threats to people, property, or the environment.
All residents living or working within the Ripley County limits are encouraged to visit www.ripleycounty.com and click on the CodeRED logo to enroll contact information including home and cell phone numbers, and email addresses. Once enrolled subscribers can opt into which emergencies they want to receive. There is also a CodeRED mobile app that is available for free download that can be used in conjunction with the online version that will use GPS location for alerts.
For more information on emergency preparedness or the CodeRED service, please contact the Ripley County Emergency Management Agency at 812-689-0505 or by email to [email protected].
