With heavy rainfall in the forecast for the remainder of this week and possibly next, it’s important to stay weather aware. Habersham County Emergency Management Agency reminds residents the agency offers emergency notifications through CodeRED.
The opt-in system provides rapid notifications to residents and businesses about emergency events within Habersham County.
By enrolling in CodeRED, users will have alerts issued to them based on their location. Alerts can be sent by text, email, or by a recorded message to a cell phone or landline.
CodeRED also offers the option of receiving CodeRED Weather Warnings, which are automatically-generated alerts from the National Weather Service. Those severe weather warnings are issued directly by the NWS.
The CodeRED alert system is free to Habersham County residents.
Other Northeast Georgia counties, including Banks, Hall, Rabun, and White use similar public alert systems.
