Be prepared by signing up for CivicReady with Greene County
Greene County is transitioning to CivicReady from CodeRed for emergency alerts in February.
CivicReady is a free opt-in communications service that allows users to customize their notification preferences and will allow non-emergency information to be sent to those who subscribe based on their choices.
Users will be able to choose their preferred language to receive alerts and the type of messages they prefer.
The new system will allow Greene County to reach residents, visitors, businesses, and employees regardless of location within the county and provide actionable information.
The ability to notify residents in an emergency is only as good as the database of numbers. Due to Federal laws, each resident MUST opt-in for alerts of any kind.
It’s especially important that residents include cell phones as a means for communication to receive alerts no matter where you are within the community. Additionally, many people only have cell phones for communication, therefore linking it to your home address is vitally important in case of address-specific emergency alerts.
