The CodeRED coverage for Cherokee County is being upgraded and expanded. 

During the Monday meeting of the Cherokee County Commission, new EMA Director Shawn Rogers presented the commission with a proposal that would provide additional coverage – adding new features while effectively doubling the reach.

That proposal was unanimously approved by the commission.  Cherokee County residents will be able to receive CodeRED messages, PLUS local messages and alerts issued by Cherokee County EMA.  CodeRED is a FREE service.

Also, Commission Chairman Kirk Day made the announcement that appointments for three positions on the Cherokee County Industrial Development Authority would be made during the June 12th commission meeting – those being for the District 1, 3 and 4 posts, with those resumes being accepted through June the 7th.  All applicants must reside within the district in which they seek to serve.
