Emergency Management in Henry County, Iowa is a coordinated effort,
involving local, state, and federal government agencies, volunteer organizations
and businesses.
Henry County 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.
THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.
Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:
Drinking water contamination
Utility outage
Evacuation notice & route
Missing person
Fires or Floods
Bomb threat
Hostage situation
Chemical spill or Gas leak
Other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential
for life safety.
