CodeRED Test sent out
On Tuesday, at 11:04 a.m., a test from the CodeRED system went out. If you did not receive a notification, please contact 870-204-5688 to be included in the emergency notifications.
NOTE: This system is designed for the City of Harrison and Boone County Area. Our system will not notify you if you are in another state and a tornado approaches that location.
The CodeRED alert system already had 8,000 numbers built in, most of which are probably numbers from a phone book. When the test was sent out, 1,689 numbers were reached. 5,500 numbers were no answers, and 49 numbers were busy. The system left messages on 646 answering machines.
If you want alerts, it is imperative that you sign up so all the information is correct.
Citizens can sign up to receive emergency alerts in three ways. An email can be sent, a phone call, or a text message. All three can be set to notify you if desired.

Marsha Carter sent us these photos and a quote: "The Dive-in movie 'Nemo' at Creekside was awesome. It was nice seeing families all there together. We had a great time with our grandchildren, and my heart was happy seeing the other families enjoying the facilities, too." Pictured is Bryan Carter with grandchildren Walker, 2, Easton, 6, and Asher, 4.
Thanks for coming to Creekside and letting us know your family had a great time.
