While the City of Clinton and County of DeWitt transition to a new emergency alert system for residents, Farmer City is maintaining its partnership with Code Red.

Code Red was the former system Clinton and DeWitt County emergency officials used for mass notifications and Farmer City Administrator Sue McLaughlin says Farmer City's partnership with Code Red is independent of those two entities.

McLaughlin explains Farmer City has a good working relationship with the DeWitt County EMA office but feels the Code Red system meets the needs of their community.

You can get more registered for the Code Red system in Farmer City by visiting cityoffarmercity.org and follow the link at the top of their page. McLaughlin says registration is easy and options for alerts are customizable as well.
