Emporia launched its CodeRed alert notification system in late 2011. Within the next month, CodeRed will get swept out the door as the city welcomes the Everbridge Public Warning Center program.

Emporia Emergency Services Coordinator Mike Rae said the timing is right with the CodeRed contract up for renewal. Everbridge is friendlier for its users to enroll and disenroll. Rae said there would be an overlap during the switch to the new system and assured citizens wouldn’t get left without an emergency warning system in place.
