The City of Brownwood 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 City 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.

Hostage situation
Chemical spill or Gas leak
and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is
essential for life safety. |
