Decatur County Notify Now launches, register today

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – A new emergency notification system has been launched in Decatur County.

The Decatur County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has introduced ‘Notify Now’ and it will provide important alerts during serious situations and weather events. 

Some Decatur County residents may still have CodeRed, however, that is being phased out and will be replaced by Notify Now. 

This new app allows people to receive geo-targeted alerts, you can choose which type of alerts you want to receive, and also how you want to receive it. 

How this can help first responders

When you register for the program, you will have the opportunity to create a Smart911 profile.

You can provide as much or as little information as you choose.

The information in your Smart911 profile may help public safety personnel better understand your needs and provide assistance during an emergency.

For example, information about your household, location, medical needs, pets, or other circumstances could be valuable to responders when they are working to help you.

The more information you choose to provide, the more information may be available to public safety personnel when you need help.

Why it is important to register for Notify Now

This is where you will get accurate and real-time information during serious events and emergencies. It’s best to download the app now rather than wait until a situation arises. 

Here is some of the information that will be provided on the app:

• Severe weather and other emergencies

• Public safety situations

• Evacuations and shelter-in-place recommendations

• Road closures and significant disruptions

• Other important emergency and community information
