The
Van Buren County Emergency Management "911" Board 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 County 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.
