Whitfield County changes emergency alert system

Whitfield County is changing the system it uses to send emergency alerts. The change affects people who are currently registered for CodeRED alerts.

CodeRED users must register again

Existing CodeRED users will need to sign up again under the county’s new emergency alert system. Their previous registration will not carry over automatically.

The change means residents who want to continue receiving alerts must complete a new registration. The county’s emergency alert system is used to communicate information about emergencies in Whitfield County.

What residents should do

People who rely on CodeRED should look for Whitfield County’s registration instructions and enroll in the new system. Residents should not assume that an earlier CodeRED registration remains active after the system change.

The change is a system transition, not an election matter. It affects emergency communications for people in Whitfield County.

Why the registration matters

Emergency alerts are intended to provide information during emergencies. A current registration gives the county a way to send those notices through its alert system.

Residents who do not register again may not remain enrolled after the county changes systems. Anyone who wants to receive future alerts should complete the new registration process when the county provides it.

What to watch

Whitfield County’s instructions for signing up with the new alert system will be the next practical step for CodeRED users. Residents should also watch for county announcements about how the transition will work.
