Comments on: Decatur Code Red Freaks Me Out http://www.decaturmetro.com/2007/12/12/decatur-code-red-freaks-me-out/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Fri, 19 Sep 2014 02:02:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Linda Harris http://www.decaturmetro.com/2007/12/12/decatur-code-red-freaks-me-out/#comment-165 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:59:13 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-165 The City of Decatur tested our Code Red Emergency System yesterday. Since it is brand new, we wanted to make sure it worked before we had an actual emergency. Originally we had planned to just say this is a test of the Code Red Emergency System. However, when we decided to change the trash pick-up on December 31 and January 1, we thought it would be a good way to give people the information as part of the test. We do not plan to use the system for announcements such as these on a regular basis. We are using the data we received and the feedback such as this as we move forward. Hopefully we will never have to use the system but it is good to know that it works.

I got one of those calls tonight, and my brain focused on the words “red” and “emergency” before it eventually caught up and parsed all the other words. It’s very strange, but also very cool in a way. None of the other cities I’ve lived in ever bothered to call me and let me know that the trash won’t be picked up on its usually scheduled day.
