EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM IS BEING
IMPLEMENTED IN UNION COUNTY

Union County has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution.  The CodeRED system provides Union County officials the ability to quickly deliver emergency messages to targeted areas or the entire county.  CodeRED allows the mass calling of a selected area or the entire county with a single recorded message informing residents of action steps they should take in the event of an emergency.  If you would like to register your phone number, log onto the Union County website at www.co.union.nc.us and follow the link to the "CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment" page.  Those without Internet access may call 704-283-3572 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to provide their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary phone number. Additional phone numbers can be entered as well.  All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number.  The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes. Questions should be directed to the Union County Emergency Communications Department at 704-283-3572.
