CodeRED Emergency Notification Services

The City of Westlake Contracts with CodeRED to Provide Emergency Notification Services The City is excited to announce that it has implemented CodeRED, a high-speed emergency mass notification service provided by the Florida-based company OnSolve, LLC. The CodeRED system will serve as the backbone of the City’s emergency planning and communications outreach to citizens. The system sends telephone calls, text messages, emails and posts to social media channels to inform residents to better protect life and property. CodeRED was selected for its reliability and accuracy, as well as the system’s widespread adoption rates across the U.S. “CodeRED is a robust notification system that will provide City officials with a reliable, easy-to-use interface that will quickly deliver critical information to our citizens during emergencies. I was eager to bring this innovative technology to the City of Westlake; it will be a great addition to the City, adding to the developing emergency preparedness plan,” said City Clerk, Zoie Burgess. The City anticipates using the system to notify residents for public safety concerns, hazards, immediate emergencies, as well as general, yet important notifications. OnSolve has provided the City an initial database of residential and business telephone numbers; however, all residents living within City limits are encouraged to visit the following link to enroll their contact information including cell phone numbers, text and email addresses: https://www.westlakegov.com/publicsafety/page/codered-enrollment Residents also may visit the above enrollment page quickly from any mobile device by texting “Westlake” to 99411. No one should automatically assume they are in the emergency contact database. The database will only be as accurate as the information that is provided, by those that wish to be informed.

Palm Beach County Honors Overdose Awareness Day

6 days ago

"Palm Beach County joined communities across the nation on August 31 in recognizing Overdose Awareness Day, honoring those whose lives have been impacted by overdose and addiction while shining a light on the hope, strength, and resilience found in recovery. At the HUB Community Resource Center in Belle Glade, Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter presented a proclamation officially declaring August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day in Palm Beach County. Spearheaded by Palm Beach County’s Community Services Department and hosted by the dedicated team at the HUB, the gathering began with prayer and set a reflective tone for a day centered on remembrance, healing, and hope. The event featured several inspiring guest speakers, including Florida House Representative Meg Weinberger, Marcia Andrews of Palm Beach County School Board District 6, Belle Glade City Commissioner Tequilla Collins, and William Freeman, COE/Founder of People of Purpose. Speakers shared deeply personal stories of addiction, recovery, and resilience, reminding everyone that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community. The gathering concluded with a candlelight vigil and a moment of silence to honor and remember those lost to overdose and addiction. Overdose Awareness Day is both a time to remember and a call to action, to reduce stigma, support those seeking recovery, and remind individuals and families that help, hope, and healing are possible. Through community-based resources such as the HUB Community Recovery Center and the Community Services Department’s Behavioral Health & Substance Use Disorders Division, Palm Beach County remains committed to connecting residents with the support, resources, and services they need on their journey toward recovery.
