Arcata Police Partners With Code Red

Notification system to improve rapid deployment of emergency resources


Staff Report
Humboldt Sentinel 

 

Arcata’s police department is improving its emergency response time by teaming up with Emergency Communication Network’s CodeRED message notification system. The CodeRED system is designed to quickly give Arcata residents and businesses important information about critical or dangerous events such as tsunami warnings, severe weather, chemical spills, fires or significant criminal events within a neighborhood. Other City of Arcata departments will also be able to quickly send out information regarding street closures, major construction and water outages.

The CodeRED system allows City of Arcata staff to deliver “emergency” and “general” notifications to a targeted area within the city or to the entire city altogether. For example, an emergency notification would include tsunami information to the residents and businesses within the inundation zone of Arcata. An example of a general notification would include a water outage in a specific area with a notification only going out to those residents and businesses affected.
Although the CodeRED system uses several publicly available sources for telephone information, the most accurate and reliable source of information comes from people and businesses enrolled into the CodeRED system. To enroll, visit the City of Arcata home page at cityofarcata.org and follow the link to the “CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment” page.

CodeRED also offers residents and businesses the option of receiving e-mail and/or text message notifications. TDD/TTY phone messages are available for the hearing impaired. Anyone may opt out of CodeRED at anytime. People with cellular, unlisted or recently changed phone numbers are strongly encouraged to enroll. No one should assume their telephone number is listed with CodeRED.

Since The CodeRED system will replace the APD’s partnership with Nixle, anyone registered to receive alerts via Nixle is encouraged to register with CodeRED. The police department will discontinue using Nixle effective December 1, 2011.

For more information, contact Lt. Ryan Peterson or the on-duty watch commander at (707) 822-2428.
