Press Release_all call The County of Torrance, including the incorporated areas, will be utilizing the CodeRED Emergency Notification System on 1/22/14 to call the entire community. The calls will be in the AFTERNOON and will continue until the entire database has been attempted. This call will give County personnel the chance to operate the system as if there has been a community wide disaster. The message that is being delivered directs recipients to the Torrance County web site to add additional contact numbers, and it also asks that recipients spread the word by mentioning the system to family, friends and neighbors. Dorothy Rivera, the Torrance County 911 Director, suggests that all individuals and businesses should take the time to visit our website and add contact information to include cellular phones and other non-traditional phones as well as email and text addresses. If your contact information is not in the database you will not receive a call when an urgent message is sent. In particular businesses should register, as well as individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number recently, and those who use a cellular phone exclusively or have VoiP phones (such as Vonage) as their primary numbers. Rivera urges citizens to log onto the Torrance County website at torrancecountynm.org and follow the CodeRED link in the lower left comer. Those without Internet access may call 505-384- 1022 Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm. If there is no answer, please leave a voicemail with your name and number and someone will call you back. Required information includes a street address (physical address, NO P.O. boxes) for location purposes and a primary phone number. Additional phone numbers, email and text addresses may also be entered. More information about the CodeRED system is on the website, any questions should be directed to the Torrance County 911 Center at 505-384-1022.
