Beachwood Joining County Emergency Notification System

BEACHWOOD, OH — Beachwood and Pepper Pike are transitioning to Cuyahoga County's ReadyNotify emergency-notification system.

Both cities currently use the city-owned CodeRED systems. At the end of this work week, on June 28, the municipalities will move to the county's system.

“All of the CodeRED users who personally registered for Beachwood or Pepper Pike notifications will be incorporated in the Cuyahoga County ReadyNotify emergency-notification system,” said Gary Haba, Chief of the Beachwood Police Department.

After Friday, residents can log into their accounts and update their preferences on emergency notifications. Alternatively, residents can create new accounts through the Beachwood or Pepper Pike websites.

“Reaching residents during emergencies is our highest priority,” said Martin S. Horwitz, Mayor of the City of Beachwood. “This switch will also save us money, as we are no longer required to carry the cost of our own CodeRED system. Future improvements to the system are also anticipated.”

Cuyahoga County uses the ReadyNotify system for emergency notifications.
