Case Study: Rural U.S. County achieves life-saving early warnings for residents with OnSolve CodeRED

OnSolve CodeRED Alerts Give Residents Critical Time to Seek Shelter

U.S. County, a rural county office of emergency management serving more than 25,000 residents, had decommissioned its tornado sirens because they were costly to install and maintain and often inaudible indoors or in remote locations. To restore timely public-safety notifications for severe weather and other critical events, the county turned to OnSolve and its CodeRED alerting service.

OnSolve implemented CodeRED to deliver Weather Warning and IPAWS alerts and multi-channel notifications that residents can subscribe to quickly; in one instance CodeRED issued an alert eight minutes before an EF‑3 tornado struck, giving residents critical time to seek shelter and helping save lives. The OnSolve solution enables rapid, anywhere-anytime alerting that increases reach and protects residents, employees and visitors across the county.
