Weld County’s emergency notification system is back online after the previous system went dark due to a cyberattack.
Crisis24, which owns the CodeRED system, has transferred subscribers to a new system to send emergency alerts to residents when requested by local law enforcement agencies, according to a county news release. Residents who were subscribed to CodeRED as of March have had their subscription transferred to the new system.
On Nov. 11, the Weld County Public Safety Communications Department was alerted by CodeRED that the notification system had gone offline Nov. 10 due to concerns from the information technology department. During that time, the county relied on a long-standing agreement with the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority to serve as a back-up to provide emergency notifications.
CodeRED was taken offline after a cyberattack on the platform, according to a statement from parent company GardaWorld. Anyone who subscribed to CodeRED is encouraged to change their password to any other account where they used the same password. The cyberattack was contained only to the CodeRED platform, according to GardaWorld, and the new system has been subjected to a comprehensive security audit.
The county will use the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority for emergency notifications that need to be sent through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, which alerts all cellphones in a determined area.
The county is still examining options for an emergency alert notification system.
Residents can register their phone number to receive emergency alerts at accountportal.onsolve.net/weldcountyco.
