WAUPACA, WI-In an effort to ensure the utmost efficiency and effectiveness of the Waupaca County Emergency Notification System, CodeRED, officials will conduct a system-wide test on Thursday, September 28th, 2023, at 2:00 pm. The primary aim of this exercise is to validate telephone numbers within the county’s database, enhancing the system’s functionality for future emergency notifications.
Here’s what residents and businesses need to know about this upcoming test:
- If you receive a call during the test, there is no need for immediate action. This test is solely intended to confirm the system’s operational readiness and to encourage more residents to enroll for future notifications.
- Regular system testing is crucial for improving efficiency and response times during actual emergencies, ensuring that vital information reaches residents promptly.
- It’s highly recommended that all residents and businesses visit the county’s website to update their contact information. If your phone number is not on record, you may not receive important notifications during emergencies.
Residents with unlisted phone numbers, those who have changed their contact details within the past year, or those who rely on cellular phones or VoIP services as their primary means of communication are particularly encouraged to update their information. The more complete the emergency database, the better the county can safeguard its residents and property.
The CodeRED system offers officials various communication methods, including telephone calls, text messages, emails, and social media updates, ensuring that critical information can reach residents promptly in times of crisis.
