From the meeting
Council asked staff to research a community-wide emergency alert system such as Code RED that can text people within roughly a three-mile radius. The use case included boil-water advisories and other emergencies, and staff was asked to understand costs and feasibility. No vendor was selected, so this remains an open planning item with a clear communications and public warning angle.
