Stone Harbor Upgrades Weather-Alert System

Posted June 29th 2020

The Borough of Stone Harbor recently announced an upgrade to its CodeRED Emergency Notification System, allowing for residents and visitors to sign up to receive weather alerts directly from the National Weather Service. These automatic notifications deliver a layer of preparedness and protection in an extreme weather situation, with warnings launched moments after a bulletin has been issued to the NWS.

“Seconds can make a difference dur-ing a severe weather event, and these alerts give residents extra time to prepare in the case of flash flooding and severe thunderstorms, just to name a few,” Mayor Judith Davies-Dunhour said. “As always, the health and safety of our residents and visitors is our top priority.”

Using technology provided by the NWS will determine a storm’s speed and direction, and the CodeRED Weather Warning will target notifications to reach only those in the projected path of the storm, increasing relevance and reducing false alarms.

Those who have previously subscribed to the Borough’s Emergency Telephone Contact Service are encouraged to sign up at stoneharbornj.org/codered for the upgrade.
