Emergency Notification

The City of Folly Beach has contracted with ECN CODE RED (Emergency Communication Network) to provide Community Alerting System services. The system is used to notify all residents in the event of an emergency or other information of importance. In order to receive notifications cellular phones or e-mail addresses must be registered. A link to the registration page can be found below.

The Community Alerting System, also known as Outbound 9-1-1, is an automated system that calls homes and businesses to notify them about serious emergencies. The system will also direct you to take specific actions during an emergency. It will also be used to notify you of other important information, water main breaks, power outages, etc.

In the event of an emergency, public safety or public works personnel will identify the affected area and activate the system. It will automatically call all telephone numbers within a specified area and deliver a recorded message.
