MOBERLY - The City of Moberly has contracted with Emergency Communications Network, Inc., for its "CodeRED" high-speed telephone emergency notification services.
The CodeRED system gives city officials the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency telephone notification and information messages to targeted areas or the entire city at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour.
"The system allows us to telephone all or a specific target area of the city in case of an emergency situation that requires action," said Moberly Chief of Police Dennis Cupp.
Examples of such emergencies include boil orders, missing children or evacuation notices.
"The CodeRED system is a geographical based notification system, which means street addresses are needed to select which phone numbers will receive emergency notification calls in any given situation," said Cupp.
The Moberly Police and Fire Departments as well as the City's Public Utilities Departments will utilize the system.
