CodeRED County Wide Tested on December 9, 2011
Ellsworth Municipal Hospital and Hardin County held the first "County Wide All Call" test of the CodeRED system, on Friday morning, December 9, 2011, a little after 10:00AM. The CodeRED system provides City and County officials in Hardin County the ability to quickly deliver pre-recorded emergency telephone notification/messages to targeted areas or the entire County. This system will only be used when situations arise that you should know about. During an actual emergency, messages will be sent only to those residents directly affected by a particular event. If you received the test notification by email or phone, you do not need to respond. You are already signed up in the system. Those people and businesses that did not receive the test call are encouraged to sign up online. Those without Internet access may call EMA at 641-939-8132 to supply their information on the phone.

Election Recount Results
The recount of the Bond Issue vote was completed on Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The “Yes” votes increased by two and the “No” votes decreased by one. Therefore, the results are now Yes – 2316 / No – 1540. The Public Measure has passed by 60.06%. Ellsworth Municipal Hospital will receive $20 million in bonding capacity from Hardin County to build a new facility. The change in vote totals was due to marks that were not readable by the voting equipment on Election Day such as voters that circled the word “Yes” or “No” vs. filling in the ovals. Another ballot had the “Yes” and the “No”ovals marked, which the voting equipment would not have counted either vote, and the Recount Board determined the voter’s intent was to vote “Yes”.
