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,
emergencies, or urgent notifications. The
system can reach hundreds of thousands of
individuals in minutes to ensure the information
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.
