What is CodeRED and what is it used for?
CodeRED is a web-based critical communication solution that enables local public safety personnel to notify residents and businesses by telephone, text message, email, and social media of time-sensitive information on, emergencies, or urgent notifications. The system can reach hundreds of thousands of individuals in minutes to ensure information on such as evacuation notices, missing persons, inclement weather advisories, and more are quickly shared. Only authorized officials have access to send alerts using the CodeRED system.

We will send out alerts via phone, text, email, and social media in a variety of situations including boil water notices, gas leaks, evacuation notices, police activity, emergencies, missing persons, and more.
