One county system can carry town alerts

Crewe’s official CodeRED page says Nottoway County operates a countywide single system and that each town has the capability to send alerts. The page describes phone calls, text messages and emails as possible delivery channels.

The town lists severe weather, natural disasters, public-safety threats, evacuation notices and updates on ongoing emergencies as examples. An example is not a promise that every event will trigger every channel.

Keep more than one information route

Use Crewe’s official signup link and keep the saved contact information current. Registration does not guarantee receipt, and a phone’s carrier, settings, power or network conditions can affect delivery.

CodeRED does not replace 911 for immediate help. During an incident, use the most recent responsible-agency instruction and do not rely on an old screenshot or forwarded message as the controlling notice.
