CodeRED Community Notification System

The City of Statesboro and Bulloch County announce a partnership to implement the CodeRED system, a high-speed emergency notification service provided by OnSolve, based in Ormond Beach, Florida. Public safety officials across the United States have credited CodeRED notifications for saving lives, including locating missing children, apprehending wanted criminals, and issuing timely evacuations.

The CodeRED system will serve as the backbone of local government’s emergency planning and communications outreach. The platform will allow officials to communicate with residents and personnel by sending telephone calls, text messages, emails, posts to social media and mobile app messages to inform residents of emergencies and better protect life and property. CodeRED was selected for its reliability and accuracy, as well as the system’s widespread usage across North America.

Mayor Jonathan McCollar stated, “it is very important we provide for the wellbeing and safety of our citizens and the City of Statesboro is happy to work with Bulloch County to implement the CodeRED system to be able to communicate with our citizens and constituents during emergency situations. The system is an efficient way to distribute emergency and general information which needs to be conveyed to all of our citizens quickly.”
