Houston County switches mass notification to Rave Mobile Safety; first-year cost $32,980
Summary
The County will replace CodeRed with Rave Mobile Safety (Motorola Solutions) for mass notification; the first-year cost is $32,980 with years two and three at $24,080 each, and County officials said the change will save approximately $10,000 annually.
Commissioner Byrd presented a proposal to accept a mass notification system from Rave Mobile Safety, a Motorola Solutions company, to replace the County’s existing CodeRed system. The Board approved the procurement unanimously; the first-year cost is $32,980 and years two and three are budgeted at $24,080 annually.
Chairman Perdue said the change will reduce costs by roughly $10,000 per year and provide better coverage through a more modern platform. Fire/HEMA Chief Chris Stoner thanked the Board for the approval and announced two Fire Department town hall meetings to discuss improvements and gather feedback (May 22 at 6:00 p.m., Perry Courthouse; May 27 at 6:00 p.m., County Annex).
