New app will deliver emergency notices to White County residents

 WHITE COUNTY, Ga. – Through an existing contract with OnSolve LLC, will begin delivering public safety alerts through the company’s public safety app of choice, the CodeRED Mobile Alert.

The app, which is a free download on the App Store and Google Play, will allow White County residents and visitors to receive free emergency, missing person and community alerts via push notifications directly to their iPhone and Android devices.

 

David Murphy, Public Safety Director, said the new platform will serve as an additional tool to help inform the community and visitors about important information that may impact their safety. “The app works similarly to our current CodeRED system. If you have the app downloaded and are in an affected area of the alert, a notification will be sent through the app to alert you of the issue,” Murphy said.

 

County residents can sign up for Code Red in several ways. From the county website at www.whitecounty.net from the White County Public Safety Facebook page by clicking the Sign Up button or by texting “WhiteCoAlerts” to 99411 to sign up.

Residents are encouraged to sign up immediately to begin receiving notifications from White County. The app is available for a free download on the App Store and Google Play.
