Opt-in to Henrico's Community Emergency Notification System What is the Henrico County Community Emergency Notification System? This system is one of many tools that Henrico County Public Safety officials use to notify you of critical information from evacuation notices to missing child alerts. Henrico County is using the CodeRED high-speed notification solution. This system provides Henrico County public safety officials the ability to quickly deliver messages both to targeted areas of the County and/or to the entire county. How do I sign up? Visit www.henricoalert.org and complete the online registration form. This portal will register your home phone number, mobile devices (cell phones, text devices), and your work phone number (should you choose to add that information) on the system. It does not matter where you reside for text-messages. It is open to anyone who would like to register, regardless of residency. There is no cost to you from Henrico County for the system, but your cell provider may charge you for text messages. Once you register, you can test your email and cell phone in the system to make sure your information is working, or you can contact Henrico's Office of Emergency Management at 501-7183 or email emergencymanager@henrico.us for assistance. I have some other questions. Where can I get information? Henrico invites you to visit the Division of Fire’s web page at www.henricofire.org for more information on the system. You will see the icon for CodeRED on the right side of the page. Or, you can call Henrico's Office of Emergency Management at 804-501-7183 or email emergencymanager@henrico.us for more information. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How to file a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
about dropped phone calls
Over the past four years, there have been complaints from residents who live in the River Road corridor concerning dropped calls on standard, wired AND wireless phones. Cell phone users should contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), since more than one company is dropping calls. Verizon seemed to be the biggest "dropper". The Federal Communications Commission has received sufficient complaints at this time to make a response.
Verizon says : "If your cell service is unreliable, dial *611 from your cell phone and make a complaint. If you cannot make a call from your cell phone, dial 1-800-922-0204 from another phone."
I have made complaints to the FCC for the community. The first question asked by the FCC is : "What are the other numbers and have they filed a complaint?" In order to get action, INDIVIDUALS must file a complaint with the FCC. To file a complaint:

Disabled Veterans can apply for real estate tax exemption Henrico County is urging disabled veterans who own their principal residence in the county to apply for recently implemented real estate tax exemption. Virginia voters adopted a constitutional amendment in the general election directing the General Assembly to provide a tax exemption for a retired service person with 100 percent service-related, permanent and total disability, as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The exemption applies to: principal residence and up to 10 acres; veteran or surviving spouse (if the veteran's death occurs on or after Jan. 1, 2011); and does not require re-filing each year. Unlike Henrico's Real Estate Advantage Program (REAP), there are no income or financial requirements for disabled veterans seeking the tax exemption. In addition, there is no cap on the amount of relief you will receive. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
