CodeRED

codered mobile alert - click to sign upThe GC Office of Emergency Management has instituted the CodeRED® Emergency Notification System. This system allows ultra high-speed cellular phone or text messaging to inform registered participants during an emergency or disaster affecting Grand County.

Register Your Cell Phone with the CodeRED®

You can now register your cell phone number for emergency updates. To make this work you have to enable your cookies or you get an error. Also, if CodeRED® has trouble with your address – do not worry about it – just put in your physical address and it will get sorted out and approved.

The CodeRED® system will be used in conjunction with “Reverse 911” (which can only contact analog, landline home phones). PLEASE, DO NOT ENTER LANDLINE PHONES IN THIS SYSTEM (even in “Alternate Phone” – landline phones are covered specifically by “Reverse 911”).

***This system will only be used for emergency purposes.***

Example of Times When the CodeRED® System Could Be Used:

• Evacuation Notice
• Fires
• Flooding
• Hazardous Materials Spills/Leaks
• Drinking Water Contamination

Registration to receive emergency notifications can be done via the web link on the Grand County Emergency Information Portal at www.gcemergency.com. This website also provides current, accurate information regarding major emergencies or disasters affecting Grand County.

Over the last decade, our local restaurants were faced with the financial burden of updating their kitchen fire suppression systems to meet changing fire safety standards. East Grand Fire wanted to help lessen this costly expense for our local restaurants so thus created the Commercial Kitchen Safety Incentive Program. This provided up to a $500.00 grant to help the with required replacement of antiquated kitchen hood fire suppression systems in the East Grand Fire Protection District.

We are pleased to say that, to date, East Grand Fire was able to help 11 establishments with the required upgrade to their hood systems. The project is now being completed and East Grand Fire is very happy to have been able to be a part of this important life safety and property preservation enhancing project for our community.
