Golden Valley Emergency Has A New Look And More Features

Press release from the City of Golden Valley:

December 30, 2020

GV Emergency, the City’s mass notification tool, is now powered by a new platform called CodeRED.

The emergency notification platform the City previously used will be discontinued in 2021.

GV Emergency’s new CodeRED platform will allow the City to send out notifications in a variety of ways, including voice, text, email, mobile app, and more.

Emergency notifications will tell you to take action and are only used as needed.

General notifications will include messages to help you make informed decisions. These notifications will be used more frequently and only go to people who opt in.
