Heard County Emergency Services
Disaster relief drive All
fire stations will be accepting donations to be delivered to storm
victims. Most of the people affected by these recent storms have
lost everything. Together, we can help these people, whether it is a
bowl of soup that you bought for them or a shirt for them to wear.
If it was you who lost everything, what would you need? These are
the items that we need to help them with. Thanks in advance for your
help. At
this time, non perishable-ready to eat food is number 1 on the list.
Followed by all types of clothing, cleaning supplies, and personal
hygiene supplies. Also, let’s not forget about the children and
babies affected, they will need items also.
Thanks
Capt. Brian Evans

Heard County and the Cities of Centralhatchee, Ephesus, and Franklin

PDMP Website often
for information about the plan, scheduled meetings, and
opportunities for community comment and input.
Prepare for the Worst. Hope for the Best.
Heard County Commission Chair June Jackson announced that the Heard
County Board of Commissioners has contracted with Emergency
Communications Network, Inc., for its "CodeRED" high-speed telephone
emergency notification services. The CodeRED system gives county
public safety officials the ability to deliver pre-recorded
emergency telephone notification/information messages to targeted
areas or the entire county at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour.
Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be
utilized are: Severe weather warnings Evacuation notice & route
Missing person Fires or Floods Public health emergencies Chemical spill or Gas leak Sheriff Ross Henry and Fire Chief Scott Blue,
cautioned that such systems are only as good as the telephone
database supporting them. "If your phone number is not in the
database, you will not be called". The CodeRED system not only
offers faster calling rates and improved message delivery, it gives
individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone
numbers directly to the system's telephone database. Sheriff Henry
emphasized that this is an extremely important feature. To ensure no one is omitted, Chief Blue urges
all individuals and businesses to log onto the Heard county website,
www.heardcountyga.com or the department website
www.heardfire.com and follow the
link to the "CodeRED Residential and Business Data Collection" page.
Those without Internet access may call Heard County Fire & Emergency
Services at (706-675-6186), Monday through Friday, (9AM-5PM) to give
their information over the phone. Required information includes
first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O.
boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary phone number, additional
phone numbers (optional). No one should automatically assume his or her
phone number is included, Sheriff Henry said. All businesses should
register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone
numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the
last year, and who use a cellular phone as their primary home phone. Chief
Blue explained that the "CodeRED system is a geographical based
notification system, which means street addresses are needed to
select which phone numbers will receive emergency notification calls
in any given situation. The system works fine for cell phones too,
but we need to have a street address". People who have recently
moved but kept the same listed or unlisted phone number also need to
change their address in the database.
