Clinton County to switch emergency alerts to Rave, schedules radio cutover for Dec. 16–18
Jonathan, director of emergency services, told the Clinton County work session on Dec. 1 that the county will retire the Code Red platform on Dec. 31 and move to the Rave alerting system on Jan. 1. "Rave is gonna be our new alerting system for Clinton County," he said, and staff have already transferred Code Red signups into the new system.

Jonathan said the county will run public information and newspaper notices so residents can confirm contact details after Rave goes live. He advised residents to wait until Jan. 1 to sign up on the Rave site to avoid duplicate registrations; "I would wait until we go live January 1 to sign up," he said. Jonathan added that staff will provide instructions and links once the Rave site is public.

On training and interagency cooperation, Jonathan said a proposed agreement with Lock Haven City Police on the Thursday agenda would allow dispatchers to ride along with officers to learn field operations; the county is also pursuing a similar opportunity with EMS, likely to come in January. "That enables the dispatcher to go ride along with the police to see what they deal with on a daily basis," he said.

Jonathan also outlined the county's radio upgrade plan for first responders. He said the official cutover to the new radio system is scheduled for Dec. 16–18: police on Dec. 16, fire and EMS on Dec. 17, and Dec. 18 reserved for cleanup and follow‑up. Testing over two weeks showed roughly "98, 99%" coverage across the county, with a few remote areas still needing attention. He said the old and new systems will run concurrently for about six months after cutover to ensure no gaps while agencies receive new radios and to allow pursuit of additional grant funding.

Jonathan closed his remarks with a weather advisory and a staffing note: the county expects a snow event and urged safe travel, recommending the 5‑1‑1 PA app for road conditions. He also reported Clinton County was recertified under StormReady through 2030 for meeting National Weather Service preparedness standards.

The work session continued with other agenda items and later adjourned by unanimous voice vote.
