Amid a frigid Minnesota winter, the City of Wabasha is dealing with a system outage that has taken its CodeRED emergency alert service offline. A recent social media update informed residents that the critical alert system, designed to warn them of snow emergencies among other threats, has gone offline at a time when its service is most crucial.
The CodeRED system, which typically delivers emergency texts, emails, and calls to Wabasha residents, is experiencing a nationwide outage. With limited options for issuing alerts, city officials are asking the public to help relay snow-emergency information, especially to those who may not use digital communication tools, as stated by the City of Wabasha.
