CodeRed Implemented in Walden
CodeRED has been implemented by the Town of Montgomery & its three Villages. In the event of an environmental or man made disaster, an emergency notification system is now in place town wide. This program will also be used to alert residents to weather related cancellations and delays as well. Please listen closely should you receive a call from this automated service on our behalf. Look for the CodeRED logo on our website, click on a logo to register additional phone numbers (work, cell) you would like used in the event of an emergency. This is very similar to the program used by school districts and is highly effective and efficient. Please read the attached PRESS RELEASE and FAQs
