RANDOLPH, Utah.
November 5, 2014. Bryce Nielson, Rich County Emergency Coordinator, said
that the Emergency Alert System is signing an agreement with Code Red, which
will provide an alert system through texting and e-mail to the region. The
County pays for it with grant matches, but as homeland security grants are
drying up, Bryce asked if the County wants to stay in it? It will be $2,300 a year .
Nielson said, “people respond to text messages.”
He would like to
incorporate it into the entire county.
Then people can be alerted to county meetings or events , as well as storm
warning for boaters for example. People
opt in by giving the county their cell phone numbers. In the sanitation bills there were
notifications to send in cell phone numbers to Kathy Hislop in Garden City and
Becky Peart in the County. The
Commission agreed to fund the program.
