Jamestown (CSi)  A county-wide test of the CodeRED mass notification system was completed on Friday, February 17, 2017, by Stutsman County Communications. The test began at 1:03 pm and included landlines, cell phones, TDD, text messaging, email, and mobile app notifications.

Results of the testing related to text messages and emails indicated that

100% of the text and email messages were delivered without issue.

 

Results related to the phone testing indicated that only 70% of the phone

numbers registered into the system received the test CodeRED message.  The

number of people notified could be dramatically increased if individuals

would take the time to register their cell phone numbers with CodeRED.  Land

line telephone numbers are already included in the notification database.

We will be working with telephone service providers to review their

information for accuracy.
