What types of emergencies will CodeRED be used for and how often will it be used?
Each jurisdiction determines when, what type, and how often they wish to use CodeRED. The Village of Yellow Springs has decided to use CodeRED primarily for the following purposes: fires, floods, water boil alerts, missing persons, evacuation notices, crime alerts, terrorist threats, chemical spills, drinking water contamination, viral outbreaks, utility outages, street closures, etc. The Village does not wish to overload the public with information, so discretion will be used while maintaining the utmost goal of public safety.
