Eureka Upgrades Its Community Notification System

This is a press release from the City of Eureka:

The City of Eureka is now working with Everbridge, the worldwide leader in unified critical communications, to keep residents, staff and emergency personnel safe and informed with quick and reliable emergency notifications and public service announcements. Everbridge will replace the current CodeRED system and residents who previously were enrolled in CodeRED will need to register with Everbridge. 

The City of Eureka will use the Everbridge emergency notification system called “Eureka Alert!” to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather, fires, floods and other emergencies, to more routine announcements, such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred contact paths—cell phone, SMS, home phone, email, fax, pager and more—to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information. 

“We have a commitment to ensure public safety, community awareness and emergency response. To uphold this, when critical information and public service announcements are available, we need to reach our residents as quickly and reliably as possible,” said Miles Slattery, City Manager/Emergency Services Director. “The Everbridge emergency notification system allows the City of Eureka to disseminate this information across all types of devices, ensuring residents have access to real-time public information when they need it the most.”
