CodeRed Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

CodeRED is an electronic emergency notification system that enables local public safety personnel to notify residents and businesses of emergencies that may require action. Alerts come via telephone, text message, and email.

Any time there is an urgent public safety message.  Officials will send messages to alert you of emergency details, instructions, or precautions that you need in order for you to make well-informed decisions and remain safe.

This is one of the communications tools used by local public safety personnel to keep you informed and prepared for any emergency that may occur in the area.

There is no cost to register to receive CodeRED phone calls, text messages, and email.

No, you should not assume that CodeRED has your contact information.

Yes, you can register more than one phone number and email address for your residence and business.

If you receive a CodeRED notification, listen carefully to the entire message and follow all instructions. You can repeat the message by pressing any key. Do not call 911 for further information unless directed to do so, or if you require emergency-related assistance.

The CodeRED system will leave a message in your voicemail. If you do not have voicemail or if your phone line is busy, the system will attempt to call you again.  At any point, you may re-dial the 800 number on your caller ID to hear a replay of the missed message.

CodeRED messages will come from 866-419-5000 – we recommend you program this number into your phone as a contact and use CodeRED as the name.

Renewals are not necessary if your contact information has not changed; however, it is a good idea to log in annually to assure your information is accurate. If you move, you must update your information to continue receiving CodeRED notifications.

If your phone carrier is not on the CNE drop down menu, you may choose “other” from the list, and you will still receive alerts.  You may also contact us directly at 1-866-939-0911.
