What is CodeRed?

CodeRed is a mass notification system used to notify county residents of an emergency situation and to provide critical community alerts.

How do I register for CodeRed?

All landlines (house phone lines) are already included in the CodeRed database. However, there are other services and notification options offered by CodeRed.

How do I know its a CodeRed call?

When CodeRed contacts you, you will see one of the following two numbers on your Caller ID along with the corresponding name:

• For emergency notifications you will see 1-866-419-5000 and your Caller ID will read "Emergency Comm"
• For general notifications you will see 1-855-969-4636 and your Caller ID will read "ECN Community"

We do recomend that you program these numbers into your cell phone so you will know when a CodeRed call comes through.

Is there other ways for me to receive CodeRed Weather Warnings?

Yes, when you sign up it will give you the option to enter two telephone numbers. One can be your landline, the other can be your cell phone, or both can be cell phone numbers. When you enter a cell phone number at the registration page, be sure to check "Mobile" underneath the telephone number. Then select your carrior. Also, by entering your email you will also receive email notifications of these alerts.

Is there a cost for this feature?

No, CodeRed is free anyone living in Monroe County.

I am worried if I sign up, my number will get sold to other toll free companies.

Your contact information will remain private and will only be used for severe weather alerts.
