The Ware County Emergency Management Agency recommends residents of Waycross and Ware County to sign up for the Code Red emergency warning system.
The system uses a variety of methods
- text alerts, emails and phone calls
- to warn citizens about potentially life-threatening events, including severe weather.
“The Code Red system is easy to use and gets information to people quickly so they can protect themselves and their families,” Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordinator, Perry Blackburn said. “During the recent storms, if you were asleep or weren’t listening to television or radio, you would have received a phone call or text message from Code Red with the latest warnings.”
He said many people have signed up for events such as severe weather and emergency notifications. If you have not already signed up I’d recommend go to one of the websites below and click on the Code Red symbol to sign up or use the sign up feature here in the right-hand column.
