LAWRENCE — Lawrence residents and businesses will get immediate notification of occurring or impending dangers or disasters under a service recently announced by Mayor Dean Jessup.
The city has contracted to bring the CodeRED system to its residents and businesses. It allows public safety officials to quickly deliver voice messages, emails and texts to targeted areas or the entire city.
Only citizens and business owners or managers who sign up will be in the database and the information gathered will not be used for any other purpose.
Individuals and business owners/managers who wish to sign up may add their own information to the database by going to the city website, www.cityoflawrence.org, and clicking on the CodeRED image, which will take them to the signup page. Those who do not have Internet access may call the city’s Department of Information Services 317-549-4802 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday to provide their information.
