Providence utilizing CodeRED emergency notification system

PROVIDENCE – The city of Providence will utilize the CodeRED Emergency Notification System to alert residents in emergency situations, according to Mayor Jorge O. Elorza.
Elorza, who made the announcement along with Michael Borg, the city’s emergency management director, explained that CodeRED is an emergency notification service that allows emergency officials to notify residents and businesses by telephone, cellphone, text message, email and social media about time-sensitive emergency information.
Emergency messages could be about Amber Alerts, hazardous incidents, boil water advisories, evacuation notices, parking bans and severe weather alerts.
Providence Emergency Management is encouraging residents, commuters and businesses to sign up for this system and download the free CodeRED app. Those interested in receiving messages can visit the city’s website at www.providenceri.com or the Providence Emergency Management website www.readyprov.com and click on the CodeRED feature.
