Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown\u00a0 Starting February 1, 2019, Stutsman County will be changing its emergency notification service from CodeRED to a company called Everbridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n The transition to the new notification system began in early November and has been a continuous process ever since. CodeRED will continue to be utilized until the switch is made on February 1.\u00a0 In December, individuals in Stutsman County, receiving their annual property tax statements in the mail received an insert briefly explaining the change in notification services.<\/p>\n On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Stutsman County Emergency Manager\/9-1-1 Coordinator, Jerry Bergquist<\/a> explained,\u00a0as with CodeRED, all land-line phone numbers are automatically included in the new \u201cStutsman Alerts<\/a>\u201d system powered by Everbridge<\/a> for emergency notifications.\u00a0 This does not include weather alerts.<\/p>\n Both land-lines and cell phones will continue to be able to register for as many as six types of weather alerts.<\/p>\n He said, if your land-line and\/or cell phone was registered for weather alerts or emergency notifications through the CodeRED system, you will need to re-register to continue receiving those same notifications from the new \u201cStutsman Alerts\u201d system powered by Everbridge.<\/p>\n The database of landlines used by the 911 system was imported into the Everbridge system.<\/p>\n He said, Everbridge provides users more flexibility and is costing the county less money.<\/p>\n He pointed out that the Everbridge system allows users to register multiple addresses to receive alerts, such as a home, work, cabin or farm address.<\/p>\n Everbridge also gives the user more control over what kinds of alerts they receive and even allows the user to block out times they do not want to be disturbed with a safety alert.<\/p>\n
