Time to Opt-In for CodeRED Weather Warnings

By Mike Keltner, Director,
Adair Co. Emergency Management

As we will soon be entering our second year of CodeRED Weather Warning we would like to remind users that have not renewed their enrollment in the past year that they must opt-in to receive weather alerts.

CodeRED Weather Warning is an opt-in only weather warning product that taps into the National Weather Service's Storm Based Warnings. CodeRED Weather Warning automatically alerts affected citizens in the path of severe weather just moments after a warning has been issued. Calls are delivered so quickly they often arrive prior to any other public notifications, usually before television or weather radio broadcasts are aired, which will provide Adair County Residents extra time to prepare. Based on the National Weather Service's polygon methodology, only citizens in the path of projected weather are contacted.


When residents enroll to receive CodeRED Weather Warning notifications, they can select the type of alerts they would like to receive, that include severe thunderstorm warnings, tornado warnings and flash flood warnings

The CodeRED system provides Adair County officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to targeted areas or the entire county.

To receive warning messages you must update your enrollment, simply log onto the Adair County website, http://www.myadaircounty.com, and follow the link to the "CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment" page.
