Carson City begins emergency notification telephone system
Carson City has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System which is described as an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications.
This system allows Carson City officials 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, a missing child or evacuation notices.
Carson City School District is looking at a similar notification system.
The new CodeRED 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. The system will be used only for emergency purposes.

Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized: Drinking water contamination, utility outage, evacuation notice and 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.
