Committee keeps public-awareness actions, corrects alert-system name to AlertSense

Sep 3, 2026

Telfair County planners and participants agreed to retain public-awareness items in the updated plan (household preparedness, shelters, radio/social-media alerts) and to standardize references to the county alert platform as AlertSense (earlier transcript used 'Code Red').

Frank Castle asked for corrections to wording where vendors or product names appeared; an attendee clarified the system name as "AlertSense," and Castle said he would update the action item language.
