The City of Vicksburg, in partnership with the Warren County Emergency Management Agency and the Warren County Board of Supervisors, has announced the activation of the new Hyper-Reach community alerting system, which will replace the previous Code-Red system. This enhanced notification platform will ensure residents receive timely and accurate emergency alerts and information, City of Vicksburg officials said.

A news conference will be held to officially introduce the Hyper-Reach system and discuss its features and benefits for the community. The event is scheduled to take place Wednesday, April 9, at 10 a.m. at the Warren County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), located in the basement of the Warren County Courthouse, 1009 Cherry St., in Vicksburg.

Officials said the Hyper-Reach conversion is the result of continued efforts by the partnering agencies to improve public safety communications for all residents in the area.

The new service can be accessed now for sign-ups via QR codes for both City of Vicksburg and Warren County residents. The separate QR codes can be found on the City of Vicksburg Facebook page and more information can be found at http://hyper-reach.com/mscityofvicksburgsignup.html or 601-429-0444 for Vicksburg residents or http://hyper-reach.com/mswarrensignup.html or 601-429-2029 for Warren County residents.
