Uintah County has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the county in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices).

The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.

THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES.

Examples of times when the CodeRED system could be utilized:

Drinking water contamination
Utility outage
Evacuation notice & route
Missing person
Fires or Floods
Bomb threat
Hostage situation
Chemical spill or Gas leak

and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.

...Years ago the independent retailers were fighting hard to keep their businesses strong and thriving against serious competition from the big box stores and chains.

Fast forward 'to today' — the stores are still fighting, but the enemy is not just those Goliath stores but the Internet and today's economy.

But the entrepreneurial spirit lives on — maybe even more determined and creative than ever. So, I want to share one idea with you that I really love that may help drive success at your independent store.

Gift and home industry consultant Cinda Baxter recently launched The 3/50 Project. It goes like this: Pick three independent retailers in your community that you would miss if they closed, visit them and spend some money in each. If half the employed population spent $50 per month at those stores (based on February employment statistics), it would generate $42.6 billion in sales.

But it doesn't stop at the stores. According to Baxter, for every $100 spent in locally-owned stores, $68 returns to the community in taxes, payroll and other expenditures. At a national chain, that number drops to $42. (buy from out of town or on the internet and it drops to $0 returned to our community)

This is one of those elegantly simple ideas — it's an easy concept to grasp and one that you are invited to use yourself for your own store's benefit. Just go online to the350project.net and get on board. Use it to promote your own business and other retailers in your area.
